**ABOUT THE PINK FLOYD EXHIBITION: THEIR MORTAL REMAINS**
The Pink Floyd Exhibition: Their Mortal Remains, is a collaboration between the members of Pink Floyd and curator, Aubrey ‘Po’ Powell. Developed closely with Nick Mason (Exhibition Consultant for Pink Floyd) the exhibition features over 300 previously unseen artefacts collected over the band’s eclectic history. It is an audio-visual journey through 50 years of one of the world’s most iconic rock groups, and a rare and exclusive glimpse into the world of Pink Floyd.

The exhibition’s phenomenally successful run at London’s Victoria and Albert Museum was described by national British newspapers as “stunning” and “a real feast for the senses”, and was one of the most successful exhibitions to ever take place at the London museum. The Exhibition’s run at Dortmunder U continues to celebrate Pink Floyd’s first appearances in Dortmund in 1977 on their In The Flesh (Animals) Tour. They returned to Dortmund in 1981 in Westfalenhallen with The Wall live, 8 nights of the total 31 shows worldwide, the only European performances outside of London.

The exhibition celebrates Pink Floyd’s place in history as the world’s cultural landscape changed from the 1960s. The band occupied a distinctive experimental space and were the foremost exponents of a psychedelic movement that changed the understanding of music forever, becoming one of the most important groups in contemporary music.

Pink Floyd have produced some of the most iconic imagery in popular culture: from cows, The Dark Side of the Moon prism, pigs flying over Battersea Power Station, and Marching Hammers to giant inflatable teachers; their vision brought to life by creative individuals such as modern surrealist and long-time collaborator, the late Storm Thorgerson, satirical illustrator Gerald Scarfe and psychedelic lighting pioneer Peter Wynne Wilson.

The flow of the exhibition, in chronological order, is enhanced throughout by music and the voices of past and present members of Pink Floyd, including Syd Barrett, Roger Waters, Richard Wright, Nick Mason and David Gilmour, talking about their musical experiences through their experiences and musical experimentation via sound specialist Sennheiser’s intuitive GuidePORT system. This culminates in the Performance Zone, where visitors enter an immersive audio-visual space, which includes the recreation of the very last performance of all four members of the band at Live 8 in 2005 with Comfortably Numb, specially mixed using Sennheiser’s ground-breaking AMBEO 3D audio technology.

The Pink Floyd Exhibition: Their Mortal Remains is presented by Michael Cohl of Concert Productions International B.V. The exhibition was originally created for London’s V&A, led by Pink Floyd’s creative director Aubrey ‘Po’ Powell (of the design partnership Hipgnosis) and Paula Webb Stainton, who worked closely with the Pink Floyd members including Nick Mason (Exhibition Consultant For Pink Floyd), with additional curation provided by the V&A’s Victoria Broackes.

We have our tickets for the museum in December. Can't wait to visit one of my favorite cities again - and see the collection of artifacts that's been assembled. Pink Floyd, in my opinion, is THE greatest band of all time and is unique in the sense that it has it's own musical genre. There is no other band that remotely fits into what their mold is.

Lucky to have seen Pink Floyd live five times from 1981 to 1994 - the new remix / remastered Animals is just jaw-droppingly good.

At the Pink Floyd Animals tour in 1977 they had the Pig floating around the Spectrum in Philadelphia. That was a great concert!

Nick Mason is a class act. After seeing him play for the second time in Seattle earlier this week I find that like Roger and David, Nick can put on a phenomenal show in its own right. Even after the band split, Pink Floyd remains one of the definitive flavors of progressive rock and it is entirely due to the rich history of the band and its members.
