One of the highlight exhibits at the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles is the ‘Strange Kozmic Experience‘; devoted to legendary artists who defined a generation and epitomized the counterculture movement of the 60s. Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin and The Doors were the front runners of everything that 60s rock stood for - power and freedom, experimentation and creativity. 40 years later, the impact of their unsurpassed skills and revolutionary music still resonates in pop culture and rock circles of today - and ‘Strange Kozmic Experience’ aims to find out why.

Boasting an impressive collection of the most coveted 60s rock memorabilia, the exhibition features Joplin’s hand painted (by friend Dave Richards) 1965 Porsche, Jim Morrison’s poetry books, iconic wardrobe pieces, handwritten lyrics and letters and much more. Museum Executive Director and music historian Robert Santelli sums it up, “Provocative, counter-cultural, and experimental, these artists stirred senses and celebrated personal freedom like never before, so we’re pleased to offer fans the rare opportunity to engage with them again in such a personal way.”
