Throughout the take-over there will be a Pop-Up exhibit of never before seen ‘Smash’ era items, including photos of the band by world-renowned photographer Lisa Johnson as well as additional memorabilia.
Band members will be participating in a variety of different events throughout the weekend. Lead guitarist, Noodles will be an official tour guide for the museum across the weekend.
