Review of the The Pink Floyd Exhibition: Their Mortal Remains

4.5

Visit date:

Overview

I've always been a fan of Pink Floyd, one of the wealthiest bands that ever existed but always had strong artistic integrity! I found the exhibition to be very accessible, with a few small flaws but I would strongly recommend it, fan or not.

Transport & Parking

3.5

We got their via DLR and Underground from Greenwich. Got off at South Kensington and walked for about seven minutes through the covered walkway and through the museums underground entrance. The exhibition was about a three minute walk away.

Access

4.5

Was able to book a carer / PA ticket easily online. When we got there was a bit of a queue and an assistant took us to the front to get the exhibition headphones, which was a nice touch. The headsets are pretty accessible - you only need to deal with the volume and nothing else. Throughout the exhibition you walk through with them on, hearing sounds and when you get close to a TV screen the sound from on the TV appears, its great but sometimes you need to get pretty close for it to 'click' on. The exhibition is pretty much on the same level, link with ramps, it's very busy and it would be nicer if there was a little bit more space, we went at 10.30am on a Sunday and my parents went at 3.30pm on the same day and they mentioned it was incredibly busy. The exhibition is full of drawings and objects but pretty much is explained in the companying videos, make sure you get a go on the mixing desk and mix 'Money' there's three of them and not many people realised they were interactive.

Toilets

4.5

This is very much near the start of the exhibition - good accessible toilet, make sure you go before you go in as it would be a bit tricky going back.

Staff

5

Always very helpful and polite. Somebody in the queue was insisted that they did not want the headsets, the staff member was very patient and friendly, explaining why it was not a typical exhibition and it would not make sense if you did not have them on.

Anything else you wish to tell us?

I loved this exhibition, it may be a bit busy and too dark for some people but talk to a staff member if this concerns you!
