Time Out says

Over the 45 years the Hard Rock Café has been open, it’s collected 68,000 pieces of music memorabilia. The first? A guitar donated by Eric Clapton to hang over the bar in the ‘70s. Now, some of the best pieces from its collection are on display at Ripley’s Believe it Or Not in an exhibition that celebrates pop culture over the years. The upstairs backroom isn’t the most glamorous setting for an exhibition that includes costumes belonging to the likes of Lady Gaga and Rihanna, but the collection contains some exciting pieces.
 
The highlight is Madonna’s cone bra from her 1990 Blonde Ambition tour. There’s also a suit belonging to Paul McCartney and one of Katy Perry couture dresses on display. The first room features a ‘runway’ style display showing looks from modern day singers Pixie Lott and Nina Nesbitt. Then elsewhere, the memorabilia is displayed in a cabinet that’s designed to look like flight cases and there’s plenty of information to read. On the walls there are famous quotes from stars as wide-ranging as Victoria Beckham and Pharrell Williams. Plus, selfie fans will be excited to know that there’s not only a faux red carpet to strike a pose on, there’s also a mirrored tunnel filled with disco lights. Admission is included with entry to Ripley's Believe It Or Not! and tickets can be booked in advance by visiting the website
