STRANGE KOZMIC EXPERIENCE

In April 2010, the Grammy Museum at L.A. Live in downtown Los Angeles will launch an exhibit honoring Hendrix, Joplin and The Doors.  The Doors official website homepage has a scroll now about the future exhibit and is giving fans the opportunity to loan important artifacts, which reads:  

Call for Doors memorabilia for the Grammy Museum!  April 2010, The GRAMMY Museum® in Los Angeles, California will launch a one-of-a-kind exhibit taking visitors into the hearts, minds and music of Jimi Hendrix, The Doors, and Janis Joplin.  In order to make this "Strange Kozmic Experience" complete, the museum needs YOUR help, the ardent fans and collectors! We want to find the most important and meaningful Doors artifacts that exist and include them for the world to see.  If you own a piece of music history that you think should be included, and would like to see your name on a plaque next to the words "Graciously on loan from the private collection of ________", please send us an email with a photo and description of your artifact, to StrangeKozmicExperience@gmail.com. It's important to note that often once an artifact is displayed in a museum, its value increases. All artifacts will be insured, properly secured and exhibited in Smithsonian standard temperature and humidity controlled cases. The exhibit will run in Los Angeles for approximately one year, after which your items will be returned or may be included (at your discretion) in a tour of 8-10 national and international museums. 

Although the Grammy Museum is nowhere near as large as Cleveland's Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, they have put on some great programs and exhibits.  There were 39 items from my own personal collection on loan to the Rock Hall's "Break On Through" Doors exhibit which ran in 2007 and 2008 and yes, it's a heck of a thrill so see your name printed on those "on loan from" cards in the display cases! 

The Grammy Museum's website is not advertising about this next exhibit yet, but their URL is:  http://www.grammymuseum.org/
