The Exposition

Presented since November 4th, 2022, the exhibition has been critically acclaimed and hugely popular with the public. This enthusiasm confirms the unique bond between the legendary band and Montreal, chosen as the first place to host the exhibition outside of Europe and the United States. The Montreal presentation of The Pink Floyd Exhibition: Their Mortal Remains features a special tribute to the band’s history with the city featuring never-before-seen photographs from their 1973 The Dark Side of the Moon concert at the Forum and the 1977 show at the Olympic Stadium.

Retracing the 40-year career of the band, the exhibition follows a chronologic path from their debut to their last reunion, their legendary performance at the Live 8 concert in London’s Hyde Park. Featuring an incredible soundtrack of their music and more than 350 unique, masterfully created artifacts, instruments, props and giant set pieces from their history such as The Division Bell heads, the infamous inflatable pig from Animals, or the schoolmaster from The Wall, the exhibition presents a multimedia story about Pink Floyd: The band, their career, their inspiration and their creative process, including rare elements such as the original The Dark Side of the Moon album cover art

Wearing headphones and guided by the voices of the members of the band, the public become immersed in Pink Floyd’s universe discovering, room after room, the story behind the creation of legendary albums such as Ummagumma, The Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, The Wall and many others. More than an exhibition just for fans, The Pink Floyd Exhibition: Their Mortal Remains has become a cultural monument that spans the generations, with people bringing their kids and even grandkids with them in order to share their memories and love of the band’s music and its impact on their lives, some returning several times in order to show it off to friends. Fans spend several hours in the exhibition, making it the perfect afternoon or evening activity to be experienced alone or with like-minded music lovers.
