The Victoria & Albert Museum in London is known for its homages to music icons, from David Bowie to Kylie Minogue (the V&A’s 2013 exhibition dedicated to the Thin White Duke turned out to be one of the hottest tickets in town). The august museum has confirmed, following press speculation, that it is turning to another legendary rock act: Pink Floyd. Next year, the museum will celebrate the group that brought us epoch-defining albums such as The Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall in The Pink Floyd Exhibition: The Mortal Remains (13 May-1 October 2017). "A story of sound, design and performance, the exhibition will chronicle the music, iconic visuals and staging of the band, from the underground psychedelic scene in 1960s London to the present day, illustrating their groundbreaking use of special effects, sonic experimentation, powerful imagery and social commentary," a press statement says. Never-before-seen classic Pink Floyd concert footage and a custom designed laser light show will also feature. In the best rock star tradition, theshow "is promoted" by Michael Cohl and Iconic EntertainmentStudios.
