'' is a look into the late 1960s when [i]"youth culture drove optimistic idealism, motivating people to come together and question the establishment across every area of society."[/i]
The concept was developed by the Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A) in London. The exhibition makes use of film, music and rare artefacts to consider the ground-breaking changes in this era. It also shows the impact they had on the way we live our lives today and the influence it had on the way we think about tomorrow.
There will be upwards of 500 objects from the V&A and Museums Victoria's own collection which will be on display. This will take you on a riveting journey through the events, voices and technological advancements that defined the cultural and political leaders of this era. There will be fashion, art and the music of swinging London through to anti-Vietnam war protests to the fight for civil rights. It will also cover the recognition of Australia's First Peoples in the 1967 referendum as well as moments such as the Woodstock and Sunbury festivals.
This will be state-of-the-art audio guide technology which will feature a musical soundtrack played through Sennheiser headsets. This music will change depending on where you are in the gallery. You can hear such things as Jimi Hendrix's live Woodstock set, Bob Dylan's 'The Times They Are A-Changin' and a whole lot of The Beatles, along with interviews, videos, film screenings and light shows.
Highlights of the displays include the following:
John Lennon's iconic glasses
The suit which was worn on the cover of [i]Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band[/i]
The original illustration of the Beatles' [i]Revolutions[/i]
Artwork and handwritten lyrics for 'Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds'
Mick Jagger's signature stage costume
A guitar smashed onstage by The Who's Pete Townsend
