Kurt Cobain’s Legendary ‘MTV Unplugged’ Acoustic Guitar to Go On Display For First Time in Europe
Kurt Cobain's 'MTV Unplugged' acoustic guitar will go on display for the first time ever in Europe this summer at Royal College of Music Museum.
The Royal College of Music London announced that its “ Kurt Cobain Unplugged ” exhibit — which opens on June 3 and runs through Nov. 18 — will feature the late Nirvana singer’s rare Martin D-18E guitar, which was uniquely adapted for left-handed play. Explore their iconic 1993 MTV Unplugged performance, one of Nirvana’s final televised appearances before Cobain’s death just five months later,” reads the copy for the exhibition, which notes that in 2020 the instrument became the most expensive guitar ever sold at auction when Australian entrepreneur Peter Freedman AM bought it for more than $6 million. The exhibition will reunite Cobain’s guitar with the equally famous olive-green mohair cardigan, which the singer/guitarist wore during the band’s Nov. 1993 performance on the show, with the two items going on display together for the first time ever.
