Making its only West Coast stop at the Skirball, Paul Simon: Words & Music—a traveling exhibition curated by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum— will be open from April 27 through September 10. The exhibition illustrates how the legendary artist’s music has reflected social and cultural ideals.

Based on exclusive interviews with the artist, the show will walk visitors through Paul Simon’s life and music and illuminate his creative process. On view will be instruments, records, sheet music, handwritten lyrics, photography, costumes, and stage maquettes, as well as listening stations and performance footage spanning Simon’s six-decade career. Exclusively for the Los Angeles presentation, Paul Simon: Words & Music will include additional artifacts from Simon’s private archive and a newly created music lab developed by the Skirball in cooperation with Roland Corporation. Details about the exhibition to be announced in the coming months!
