The Grammy Museum in Los Angeles is inviting Olivia Rodrigo fans on a trip down memory lane.
The new “Note by Note” exhibit, opening Sept. 25 and running through Feb. 22, is the second part of “The Cure Unraveled” and expands on the singer-songwriter’s career.
The new space will showcase artifacts spanning all three of her albums, two world tours, and items pulled directly from Daisy Chain Fields festival grounds, plus some never-before-seen pieces.
Highlights include stage-worn outfits, handwritten letters to fans, and the iconic knee-high Dr. Martens worn throughout the “Sour” tour; outfits from her “Guts” world tour performances at Los Angeles’ Intuit Dome and the official “Guts” megaphone; and current items including dresses worn for the front, back, and interior cover art of “you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love,” alongside the pink electric guitar featured in the “Drop Dead” music video.
A new Olivia Rodrigo exhibit at the Grammy Museum invites fans to unravel
On Sept. 2, the Grammy Museum opened “The Cure Unraveled,” featuring props from Rodrigo’s “The Cure” music video from her most recent album. Fans can view miniatures, an animatronic heart, intricate cardboard guitars and stop-motion animation. Other artifacts include behind-the-scenes photos from the music video and displays featuring the hand-drawn font by Jes Sheldon, one of Rodrigo’s graphic designers.
Both parts of the exhibit come just a few weeks after Rodrigo’s landmark Daisy Chain Fields Music Festival, a female-fronted festival at the Irvine Great Park featuring a star-studded lineup including Bikini Kill, Chappell Roan, Doechii, Garbage, Not For Radio and more. The women-led event raised $20 million for charities supporting women and girls. After its success, Irvine officials said they’ve discussed bringing the festival back next year.
Tickets for the Grammy Museum are $22.50 for adults, $18 for seniors and military, $15 for students and free for children 17 and under at grammymuseum.org.
