Joni Mitchell’s handwritten lyrics are here, too and Patti Smith’s famed clarinet.
This exhibit is filled with more than 250 sensational artifacts including:
• Joan Jett’s black leather jacket
• Chrissie Hynde’s sassy blue Fender
• Madonna’s Blond Ambition bustier

More than attitude. More than music.
