The Velvet Underground Experience, an intriguing new multi-media art and music exhibition spotlighting the iconic band’s early NYC roots, opened in New York City on October 10. It is the first global exhibition dedicated to the Velvet Underground and its influence on modern music, fashion, art & popular culture, set against the backdrop of the band`s early days collaborating with Andy Warhol in NYC in the 1960s. Co-presented by Bandsintown and Citi, the three-month exhibition is located at 718 Broadway in Greenwich Village, paying homage as well to the neighborhood’s deep artistic base. The first leg of the exhibition’s global tour originated in Paris in April 2016 at La Philharmonie de Paris, the largest Music & Art museum in Europe who served as originating producer, to great public and critical acclaim, with more than 65,000 visitors attending the exhibition.
