I know there was a topic started elsewhere, but this link is more detailed.

There was something in the way he moved people. Now the late George Harrison could become the focus of the next big exhibition at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum.
An as-yet-untitled salute to the ex-Beatle is tentatively scheduled to open next year, chief curator Jim Henke said.
Harrison's widow, Olivia, has expressed interest in the project, although exhibit plans have not been finalized.
Harrison died in 2001 at the age of 58, after a long battle with cancer.
The rock hall has approached Harrison's estate about covering his years with the Fab Four and his solo career with a retrospective spread over several floors of the museum. Henke said he envisions a major installation along the lines of the rock hall's well-received John Lennon exhibition, which recently ended a two-year run.
Henke sees no harm in mounting another Beatles-related exhibit in such short order.
"There always is interest in the Beatles," he said.
Jann Wenner, vice chairman of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation, broke the news about the Harrison exhibit at the rock hall induction ceremony Monday in New York City.
