The Jim Irsay Collection

Christie’s New York has brought together not only the world's premier collection of guitars but also very cool memorabilia from literature, sports, film and more as part of The Jim Irsay Collection, a free, open-to-the-public exhibition at 20 Rockefeller Plaza. On view from March 3 through 17, the collection will feature hundreds of incredible objects and cultural touchstones from throughout pop-culture history—we're talking Kurt Cobain's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" guitar, Ringo Starr's drums from The Beatles' historic The Ed Sullivan Show appearance, Miles Davis's trumpet and Elton John's piano, Babe Ruth's baseball and Muhammad Ali’s boxing gloves, handwritten song lyrics from Bob Dylan and Paul McCartney, the original typescript scroll of Jack Kerouac’s On The Road, a real golden ticket from the original Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and much more.
