MUSEUMS & GALLERIES NEWS Rolling Stones touring exhibition starting in UK in 2016
The Rolling Stones have announced plans for a touring exhibition displaying rare and unique treasures from the band’s 50-year history. Promoted and presented by Australian company International Entertainment Consulting, Exhibitionism will make its debut in April 2016 at London’s Saatchi Gallery. On show will be more than 500 artefacts from the band’s personal archives, which a statement said would embrace “all aspects of art and design, film, video, fashion, performance, rare sound archives and, of course, at the heart of it, the Stones’ musical heritage.” The immersive exhibit will fill nine rooms, spanning 1,750sqm (18,800sq ft), with each room looking at a different period of Rolling Stones history. The tour will be the largest of its kind to ever be staged by a band or musician and has had its collection curated over a period of three years. “We’ve been thinking about it for quite a long time but wanted it to be just right and on a large scale just like planning our touring concert productions,” said the band’s vocalist, Mick Jagger. “I think right now it’s an interesting time to do it.”

it’s not necessarily just about the band members,” added Stones guitarist Keith Richards. “It’s also about the paraphernalia and technology associated with a band, such as the instruments that have passed
through our hands over the years, that will make the exhibition really interesting.” The Exhibitionism tour is scheduled to stop in 11 cities worldwide, with tickets for the London leg having gone on sale 10 July. ■■Details:

German firm GMP Architekten and Spanish architecture firm Nieto Sobejano have been selected to design Guangzhou Museum and Guangzhou Science Museum respectively as part of the Chinese city’s new cultural hub. GMP’s Guangzhou Museum will be located near the distinctive Canton Tower. The design includes references to the Chigang Pagoda, which lies to the north of the museum near the Pearl River. Limited to 18 metres (59 feet) in height at its northern end because of the historic buildings around it, the museum will gradually rise to 40 metres (131 feet) tall, with the architects using the height differential to create

a roof terrace facing the pagoda. The museum will have a central great hall with a number of terraced levels. Nieto Sobejano’s plans for the Guangzhou Science Museum are based on a grouping of nine individual shapes, conceived as a “flexible sequence of large-scale ceramic vases”,
according to the architect. Covering 80,000sqm (861,000sq ft), the museum will include exhibition halls, temporary exhibition space, science and technology theatres, auditoriums, an indoor garden and a rooftop garden overlooking the city. ■■Details:
