The Rolling Stones are set to open their first ever major exhibition in London next year, which will host over 500 band artefacts.
The exhibition, which will be aptly titled EXHIBITIONISM, is set to open in April 2016 at London's Saatchi Gallery, and marks the first time in the band's 50+ years that they've orchestrated a major gallery event.
As NME reports, EXHIBITIONISM will comprise nine themes over two floors of the venue, and will include original stage designs, rare guitars and instruments, backstage paraphernalia, personal diaries, posters and album artworks. There will also be audio-visual elements - visitors will be able to listen to rare audio tracks and watch previously unseen video clips.

The band's artistic collaborations with the likes of Alexander McQueen, Ossie Clark, Andy Warhol, Tom Stoppard and Shepard Fairey will also be on display. Once its London stint is over, it will be moved to eleven other cities across the world over a four year period.
In a statement, Mick Jagger said, "We've been thinking about this for quite a long time but we wanted it to be just right and on a large scale. The process has been like planning our touring concert productions and I think that right now it’s an interesting time to do it."
Tickets for EXHIBITIONISM go on sale on 10 July at 9am. For more information, visit here.
