“Their Mortal Remains,” a long-delayed exhibition devoted to Pink Floyd, will finally open in London next year.
Containing more than 350 items, promoters describe the show as an “immersive, multi-sensory and theatrical journey” through the 50-year history of the band.
Running May 13 to Oct. 1, 2017, at the Victoria & Albert Museum, the show coincides with the 50th anniversary of Floyd’s debut 45 “Arnold Layne,” released in March 1967.
Drummer Nick Mason joined a flying pig outside the venue to announce the event today.
Admission ranges from £11 to £57. Tickets can be purchased online.
The exhibition was originally to open in Milan in September 2014. But Evolve Devolve, the Italian promoter of the event, issued a statement a month before launch saying the complexity of the installation made it impossible for the company to meet the timeline.
The London event, promoted by Michael Cohl and Iconic Entertainment Studios, has the involvement of all surviving members of the Floyd.

Thanks to Facebook’s TwentyThree DrumHead for the heads-up.
Does “…of all surviving members of The Floyd” include Mr R. Waters???
According to the official press, yes.
