THe HRC has a vast collection of musical instruments. A special 60th Anniversary exhibition has been established in the Fender Visitor Center in collaboration with Hard Rock.
The HRC's are to be found in many
countries and many cities. They must
have the biggest collection of rock
memorabilia ever. Guitars, clothes,
drums, photographs, posters etc
The great thing is it's free. Just
go buy yourself a beer or a meal, and
browse their walls and watch the videos.
