What else can I see and do?
The Gibson Garage London offers an unparalleled guitar and music experience, infused with distinct elements of British culture within its walls, including the new Gibson Gallery. Visitors can enjoy weekly live music events, artist showcases, and panel discussions on a state-of-the-art stage located on the lower level. There will even be opportunities to participate in live recordings for an acclaimed Gibson TV series.
The Gibson Gallery, which updates its exhibits twice a year, is dedicated to showcasing the works of British artists and photographers. The first exhibition at the Gibson Gallery features an exclusive collection by Gered Mankowitz, the legendary rock ‘n’ roll photographer whose work over the past 50 years has helped define the visual imagery of influential musicians.
His subjects have included iconic figures such as The Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, PP Arnold, Kate Bush, Elton John, The Jam, Eurythmics, and Oasis. This exhibit will also present rare and previously unseen portraits from Mankowitz’s extensive archive. The curation of this exhibit is a collaboration between RedHouse Gallery and Iconic Images.
What is Gibson saying about Gibson Garage London?
Cesar Gueikian, Gibson President and CEO, states, “When we first began designing the Gibson Garage, our global flagship, we asked ourselves, ‘What do we want our fans to experience when walking into Gibson?’ We imagined an immersive dream space where fans walk in and say, ‘Wow, this is the place that Gibson should have always had!’
“The Garage we built in Nashville is an exciting place to experience Gibson music and lifestyle through instruments, sound, media, and apparel. The Garage is designed to be a part of the local music community with a live stage featuring performances and events from icons and emerging artists on any given day of the week.
“The Gibson Garage in Nashville has had an extraordinary impact on the music scene in addition to becoming a global music destination, and we are thrilled to bring the Garage to London. As one of the most cosmopolitan cities in the world, London has always been an influential musical ecosystem and became an obvious choice of where to open our next Gibson Garage.”
Whether you are a seasoned pro, a beginner, a casual guitar player, or simply a music fan, the Gibson Garage London is open to all. It’s a must-see destination in Central London for music lovers.
