SEATTLE – This week, exhibition crews from Australia’s Arts Centre Melbourne began installation of AC/DC: Australia’s Family Jewels at EMP Museum. EMP is the only venue in North America presenting the exhibition chronicling the career of AC/DC, one of the highest-grossing bands of all time.

AC/DC: Australia’s Family Jewels runs from April 28, 2012–September 29, 2012. Developed and presented by the Arts Centre Melbourne and the Western Australian Museum in association with AC/DC, Albert Music, and Sony Music, this is the first and only fully endorsed exhibition to bring to life the history, creativity, and power of one of the world’s greatest rock bands. The exhibition will feature more than 400 artifacts including photos, instruments, 35 years of gig posters from shows staged around the world, letters, lyrics, and costumes, including an extremely rare Angus Young schoolboy outfit and his 1975 home sewn ‘Super Ang’ costume, complete with gold and red satin cape.

EMP members will have the first opportunity to see the exhibition Friday, April 27 from 10am – 5pm and on Saturday, April 28 from 9:00am – noon. The exhibition will open to the public at EMP Museum on April 28 at noon.
