Banner unveiling welcomes in “The Year of The Rolling Stones” in Waterloo Region and beyond
KITCHENER, ON — THEMUSEUM’s unique exhibition banners enveloping the front of the building have become an iconic piece of Downtown Kitchener’s arts and culture scene. On January 13, the existing banner for THEMUSEUM’S ALARM exhibition will be taken down after a one-year stint in the community, and will be replaced with The Rolling Stones | UNZIPPED exhibition banner. THEMUSEUM will work with Kitchener-based Signs Galore Inc. on this exciting banner changeover. The unveiling of the UNZIPPED banner will symbolize 2021 as “The Year of The Rolling Stones” in Downtown Kitchener, Waterloo Region, and beyond.
In the fall of 2021, THEMUSEUM will become home to the Canadian premiere of an exhibition that offers a rare, immersive glimpse into the lives of The Rolling Stones and their nearly sixty-year journey. The Rolling Stones | UNZIPPED delivered by DHL, opens on November 30, 2021 and runs through to February 27, 2022.
