Since the exhibit opened in 2023, tens of thousands of visitors from across the country have explored Joel's career. It has also been featured in hundreds of news stories.

The exhibit was put together by world-renowned designer Kevin O’Callaghan. It tells the story of Joel’s life and features some of his most cherished items from the past 50 years.

Items included rare memorabilia, behind-the-scenes video footage, dozens of awards, rare audio and video recordings, vintage instruments and historic photos — many of which were donated by Joel himself.

Fans are encouraged to purchase their tickets in advance as it is anticipated that many days will sell out. You can secure tickets online.

New exhibits will be announced soon and are set to open Thanksgiving weekend.

Joel participated in a two-part documentary that premiered last month on HBO.

LIMEHOF is located at 97 Main St. in Stony Brook.
