Fantastic news :dance:

 

Interactive Elvis Presley Museum going to London - The King's special come back:

 

A private entity is in the process of developing a center in a landmark location in London, which will feature an interactive exhibition using the largest Elvis Memorabilia collection outside Graceland. The exhibition will also include never before seen photos from the early days of “Rock and Roll†together with very rare footage of Elvis’ family, entourage, the Memphis Mafia and Hollywood cast members.

 

The exhibition is set to open by the 30th anniversary of Elvis’ death, in August of 2007. The museum dedicated to the life, loves and legacy of Elvis Presley, will present the collection of over 250 items of Elvis Presley memorabilia in a form allowing the visitor to experience the life of Elvis Presley from poverty to riches, world-wide fame, and to ultimate rock and roll stardom.

 

The center will be home to a multi-media museum presenting rock & roll, Elvis Presley, and their combined role in shaping the worlds music culture.

It will be fully developed into a complete entertainment complex including restaurants, shops and shows by 2008, way before the 2012 Olympics in London. The display, lay-out and designs are created by world class artists. Some of the profits generated from the project will be given to charity. Also a grand world tour of Elvis Memorabilia is starting in the near future.

Hi Robbie's Nurse (that sounds fun :cheer: ) Great to see you! I haven't heard any more about this, but I will try and find out :dance:

Hi Tilly I just joined these forums tonight. I always think that Robbies Nurse is a fun internet forum name to use. Well I am a massive Robbie fan and I work as a Care Assistant so I just put the two together and came up with Robbies Nurse!

 

Yes please try and find out some more It sounds very exciting. Well for me anyway my mum and dad dont like Elvis, well my dad doesnt mind him but mum isnt a fan.

Hi, that sounds a great reason for a username Mine is just a nickname from when I was younger, my name is Carole and it's lovely to see you in the Elvis forum. Have to say, I absolutely love the man and have made some great friends who think the same, because of this and other forums.

 

I'll do my best to find out more :D I've been a fan for about 10 years, although I've been collecting Elvis big time, the last 3 years or so. Been to Memphis once and going again in August for the 30th anniversary and I'm really excited :dance:

wow! I asked in the Elvis forum who and been to Memphis. I nearlly got there years ago but I couldnt get an internal flight. I went with mum and dad. I am going to Disney Land this year, but I would love to save up and go to Graceland. Even If I woould only visit the once it would be amazing.

I couldn't view the link Carole Posted. But hope the museum will be a proper tribute to Elvis and not some tacky effort .

Think it's an old link unfortunately :( I googled it today cos I hadn't heard anything more about this museum and it came up with this link
