RockChic: The Life and Times of the Electric Guitar 1931 - 2006
===============================================================
Set within a dynamic multimedia experience that captures the essence of a rock stage, RockChicTM: The Life And Times Of The Electric Guitar features more than 100 legendary, vintage, rare and customised guitars, in an exhibition which examines the electric guitar’s origins, and focuses on its evolution and influence on society over the last 75 years.

Visitors will embark on a journey that spans 75 years, starting with the ‘Frying Pan’, the world’s first electric guitar - never previously exhibited outside of the US - together with a remarkable display of vintage instruments, including a 1950s Silvertone guitar with an amp in the case, and an early Rickenbacker arch top. The collection also includes instruments associated with rock’s greatest icons, including the likes of Keith Richards, Bo Diddley, Jimi Hendrix, Carlos Santana, Van Morrison, and Phil Lynott, to name but a few, and an amazing collection owned by the legendary Rory Gallagher, alongside an extraordinary display of unique customised guitars.

Playing at the National Museum of Ireland’s Decorative Arts & History site at Collins Barracks, Dublin from 23 November 2006 - 21 January 2007, RockChicTM promises to delight fans of music, art and history alike.
