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

It is about an exhibition to be held in the R&R Hall Of Fame

From John Soeder
Plain Dealer Pop Music Critic

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.

There's a topic about this in I Read the News Today. Since that one just had the link, not the article, I'll go back and close it.

FPSHOT, thank you for this article.
I would love to see a George Harrison

hope they'll post photos and a report.

I saw the John Lennon exhibit about 4 or 5 times! Mainly cuz I live about 20 minutes away from the Rock Hall, but still! I loved the way they did it! It was so awesome! I'm excited for the George Harrison exhibit that's coming!

Abbey Road reports a note from a visitor saying;

I have some rather good news! I got a letter from the RRHOF in Cleveland, OH today asking to renew my membership and it says that there IS going to be a "tribute retrospective to former Beatle George Harrison in early 2004" So it is going to happen! Can't wait to see it! Keep up the great work.

I have looked at the R&R HOF website, but there is no reference made yet

so, I just sent them an e-mail.

That is good news. George deserves to be recognised. Just wish I could see it.

I thought the John exhibtion was fantastic when I went last summer, and now there's going to be one on George as well? Humm I think I'll have to start planning another trip!

But really the whole Hall of Fame is a facinating and truely unique place to visit...albeit a little overwhelming because there is soooo much to see and hear!

Within one day I got the following e-mail from the R&R Hall Of Fame;

"At this point in time, we do not have any specifics worked out in regards to an upcoming George Harrison exhibit.
We are hoping to have an exhibit on him sometime in the near future. Please keep an eye on our website (http://www.rockhall.com) for further updates on this and other exhibits.
Sincerely,
Exhibitions Department"

Well, quite clear I'd say.

I will copy it to Steve at Abbey Road.

Oh well, that is good, even if I'll probably never see it.
I think George would like it too. He liked to have his talent and success recognised even if he didn't like some of the disadvantages of that.
