Starting Saturday, January 26, The Experience Music Project will open the first part of a two part exhibit, Message to Love and Jimi Hendrix: An Evolution of Sound. These two parts join together to celebrate the life and achievements of Jimi Hendrix and how his music is still relevant to our time.
Message to Love, opening on the 26th, tells the story of Hendrix’s influence on our culture, while An Evolution of Sound, opening on April 26th, examines the connection between Hendrix and his audience.
At this first exhibit, visitors will be able to see his famous Woodstock Fender Stratocaster as well as his Gibson Les Paul guitar, later given to his friend Larry Lee and taken to perform at Woodstock. The rest of the gallery walls will be open as blank slates for visitors, upon which guests can write messages and memories to contribute to future Hendrix exhibits at the museum.
