Nirvana exhibit to open in Seattle

Nirvana are set to be the subject of a major museum exhibition in their native Seattle, Washington.

Nirvana: Taking Punk to the Masses will open to the public next spring at Seattle's Experience Music Project.

It will feature memorabilia and artifacts conjuring up the spirit of the legendary grunge trio.

Bass player Krist Novoselic says, "I'm really excited for Nirvana to be a touchstone for this exhibition... It's great that there will soon be a collection that celebrates that contribution to music and culture."

The exhibit will be accompanied by a new book on the band, titled Taking Punk to the Masses: From Nowhere to Nevermind, which will include rare and unseen photographs and artwork.
