The Rolling Stones have announced plans for a touring exhibition displaying rare and unique treasures from the band’s 50-year history.

Promoted and presented by Australian company International Entertainment Consulting, Exhibitionism will make its debut in April 2016 at London’s Saatchi Gallery. On show will be more than 500 artefacts from the band’s personal archives, which a statement said would embrace “all aspects of art and design, film, video, fashion, performance, rare sound archives and, of course, at the heart of it, the Stones’ musical heritage.”

The immersive exhibit will fill nine rooms, spanning 1,750sq m (18,800sq ft) in total, with each room looking at a different period of Rolling Stones history. The tour will be the largest of its kind to ever be staged by a band or musician and has had its collection curated over a period of three years.

“We’ve been thinking about it for quite a long time but wanted it to be just right and on a large scale just like planning our touring concert productions,” said Mick Jagger. “I think right now it’s an interesting time to do it.”

“While this is about the Rolling Stones, it’s not necessarily just about the members of the band,” added Keith Richards. “It’s also about all the paraphernalia and technology associated with a band, such as the instruments that have passed through our hands over the years, that will make the exhibition really interesting.”

The Exhibitionism tour is scheduled to stop in 11 cities worldwide, with tickets for the London leg going on sale 10 July.
