Description
ROLLING STONES 50 YEARS OF SATISFACTION is the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum's first ever major exhibition capturing the band’s legendary career. It includes personal items and extraordinary collections that have never been seen before by the public, and will be open until March 2014. The exhibit, which takes up two-and-a-half floors of the Museum, celebrates the Rolling Stones’ incredible contribution to popular music from their earliest days playing small clubs, to their era-defining recordings and sold-out global tours. Through the use of artifacts, film, text and interactive technology, generations of music fans will have the opportunity to get up close and personal with rare items from nearly every aspect of the Stones’ astonishing five decades at the top. Craig Inciardi is Associate Curator of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum and has worked at the museum since 1991. In addition to help building the museum’s permanent collections, Inciardi has had a lead role in many of the museum’s major exhibitions including Rolling Stones: 50 Years of Satisfaction. Greg Harris was named President and Chief Executive Officer of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in December 2012, where he had previously overseen development, special events, membership, board relations and government affairs since 2008. “The Rolling Stones are the epitome of rock and roll,” said Harris. “This first-ever exhibit gives us an opportunity to tell the story of one of the definitive rock and roll bands. The experience should be on every music fan’s destination list this summer.”
