The Grammy Museum will commemorate Grammy-winning comedian George Carlin with a new display opening Wednesday, Sept. 30 on the museum’s third floor.
The “George Carlin: A Place For My Stuff” exhibit will mark the third display in the museum’s comedy series, following previous tributes to Rodney Dangerfield and Joan Rivers.
The display will include Carlin’s Grammy Awards and other accolades, childhood scrapbook and photos, the set list from his performances on “The Tonight Show” in 1962 and “The Ed Sullivan Show” in 1971, his public arrest records, a script from the 1999 cult film “Dogma” and more.
“Ever since I became the keeper of my dad’s stuff in 2008, I have enjoyed sharing little bits of it with friends and comedians,” said Kelly Carlin, the comedian’s daughter. “But to know that his fans will now get to see some of it, makes my heart swell with joy. I am thrilled that the Grammy Museum is creating a place for his stuff.”
“George Carlin: A Place For My Stuff” will be on display at the museum through March 2016.
The Grammy Museum is located at 800 W. Olympic Boulevard, Suite A245.
