HOLLYWOOD, CA โ€” Fans of Pink Floyd will have to wait another month before the traveling "The Pink Floyd Exhibition: Their Mortal Remains" touches down in Hollywood. Organizers announced the launch of the exhibition will be delayed until September 3, from its initial date of August 3.

In an email, the exhibit said shipping delays from Europe forced an unavoidable delay.

"The many containers filled with Pink Floydโ€™s artefacts, stage sets, and private collections were shipped from the UK with an extensive lead time but coming out of the pandemic, there are many delays in global freight," organizers said in a statement. "These containers have now safely arrived in LA."

โ€œI tried to make the exhibition very much like Pink Floyd,โ€ creative director Aubrey Powell told Rolling Stone in 2017. โ€œLarger than life. Like an Alice in Wonderland trip. Itโ€™s a celebration of 50 years of Pink Floyd, so what I decided was needed was to have a person have an immersive experience in it. You want to follow the band all the way through their career. Pink Floyd were very inventive in terms of how they progressed with technology and how they progressed with the stage visuals. They were innovative right up to the present day and, hopefully, this exhibition shows that.โ€

Tickets will cost $46 per person, with scaled discounts for those who buy up to 5 tickets as a group. Larger group sales are also available by reaching out to VMM here.
