This morning, Pink Floyd flew an inflatable pig over London’s Victoria & Albert Museum to announce their new, career retrospective exhibition, “The Pink Floyd Exhibition: Their Mortal Remains.” The stunt harks back to the cover of their 1977 album Animals, where a pig is seen soaring over Battersea Power Station. As the BBC points out, “Their Mortal Remains” follows the successful “David Bowie Is...” exhibition, which ran at the V&A through spring and fall 2013. The “immersive, multi-sensory and theatrical” new show, which marks 50 years since Pink Floyd’s debut single, will include 350 items of band ephemera—instruments, posters, handwritten lyrics, artwork, and more. They’ll be housed within an exhibit featuring a laser light show and unearthed concert footage. It’ll run from May to October next year.
