One of the most famous acoustic guitars in rock history – Kurt Cobain’s Martin D-18E – will go on show at the Royal College of Music Museum in London as part of a landmark exhibition exploring Nirvana’s groundbreakingMTV Unpluggedperformance. Opening on 3 June 2025, theKurt Cobain Unpluggedexhibition will be the first time Cobain’s iconic guitar has been shown in the UK. Booking forKurt Cobain Unpluggedopens on Wednesday, 30 April. Visitors canjoin the waitlistto be among the first to know when tickets go on sale and receive updates and event highlights related to the exhibition.

Kurt Cobain Unpluggedexhibition delves into the musical legacy of Nirvana and Kurt Cobain. It traces the remarkable journey of this iconic guitar, which became the most expensive guitar ever sold at auction in 2020 when it was bought for over $6 million by Australian entrepreneur Peter Freedman AM. Peter is the founder of RØDE Microphones, founding supporter of the Royal College of Music’s Australia Commonwealth Scholarship and has generously loaned the guitar for this special exhibition.

Peter Freedman commented: ‘When I purchased this guitar, my intention was to have it begin a worldwide tour of exhibitions, to support performing artists. I am delighted that this intent will be premiered at the Royal College of Music, London, with the first exhibition of its kind and will support talented musicians worldwide.'

The exhibition also reunites the guitar with another piece of rock history – Cobain’s famous olive-green mohair cardigan, worn during the 1993Unpluggedperformance. This marks the first time these two legendary items have been displayed together.

Alongside these items, a carefully curated selection of Nirvana memorabilia will provide insight into the band’s influence, Cobain’s songwriting, and the enduring legacy of Nirvana and theirMTV Unpluggedperformance. Key highlights of the exhibition also include:

  1. A selection of Nirvana gig posters featuring a 90s punk/grunge aesthetic.
  2. A selection of collectible Nirvana vinyl in its original shrink wrap.
  3. The top portion of a Soundboard of another guitar from the same series.
The exhibition has been curated by Alan di Perna – one of America’s foremost rock journalists, and Royal College of Museum Curator Gabriele Rossi Rognoni. Alan di Perna’s work has appeared in titles includingRolling Stone, Guitar World, Classic RockandBillboardamongst others, and he has interviewed iconic artists including Dave Grohl, Krist Novoselic, Courtney Love and Pat Smear.

Alan Di Perna says, ‘I’m delighted to be a part of the Royal College of Music Museum’s first-ever rock music exhibition. MTV’sNirvana Unpluggedin New York was a landmark event—a stand-out performance by a group that changed the course of rock history in the 1990s.’

Gabriele Rossi Rognoni hopes theKurt Cobain Unpluggedexhibition will extend the profile and reach of the work of the Museum and Royal College of Music, opening cross dialogues with students of different backgrounds and creating bridges between historical and contemporary music. He says: ‘One of the treasures in the collections of the Royal College of Music Museum is the world’s oldest guitar. I am thrilled that this exhibition will build on our extraordinary heritage, connecting it with a monument of today’s music such as Kurt Cobain. I look forward to the dialogues, musical encounters and new ideas that this exhibition will spark among our visitors and the top-class musicians that study at the College.’

A series of events will accompany the exhibition including new works and performances by RCM students inspired by the guitar alongside family friendly workshops and concerts....

17
00:01:07.120 --> 00:01:07.519

00:01:08.400 --> 00:01:09.760
I'm fine. How are you, Jan?

19
00:01:10.439 --> 00:01:14.959
I'm doing great. So let's start off with let's tell

20
00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:17.480
the listeners a little bit about yourself for people that

21
00:01:17.560 --> 00:01:23.079
don't know you, like, you know, basically your elevator explanation

22
00:01:23.239 --> 00:01:26.599
of what you've done for so many years for the

23
00:01:26.719 --> 00:01:29.599
music industry and journalism.

24
00:01:29.599 --> 00:01:33.400
Okay, yeah, so I've been I've been kicking around for

25
00:01:33.560 --> 00:01:37.799
a long, long year. I started. I started writing as

26
00:01:37.840 --> 00:01:40.760
a professional journalist in nineteen eighty I was living in

27
00:01:40.760 --> 00:01:43.760
New York at the time, playing in a playing in

28
00:01:43.799 --> 00:01:47.519
a new romantic synth band, and needed a day job.

29
00:01:47.680 --> 00:01:50.000
So I got a job on a magazine called Music

30
00:01:50.079 --> 00:01:54.680
Sound Output, and journalism became my career. I shifted to

31
00:01:54.840 --> 00:01:59.439
LA in nineteen eighty three. I started freelancing and we're

32
00:01:59.480 --> 00:02:03.200
working as that as a contractor for lots of publications

33
00:02:03.719 --> 00:02:08.159
rolling Song Cream, Billboard, Guitar World, Guitar Player, a lot

34
00:02:08.159 --> 00:02:13.759
of guitar mags, and I've been blessed to interview so

35
00:02:13.879 --> 00:02:18.840
many legendary artists, David Bowie, Keith Richards, Pete Towns and

36
00:02:20.439 --> 00:02:25.639
Ray Charles. The list goes on and on, including everybody

37
00:02:25.639 --> 00:02:30.080
from Nirvana except for Kirk Cobain unfortunately, but he was

38
00:02:30.479 --> 00:02:36.039
going so quickly. But I've had opportunities to debut Dave Grohl,

39
00:02:36.719 --> 00:02:40.520
Pat Smear, Christen o Oselk and Fortney Love as well.

40
00:02:40.840 --> 00:02:41.199
Wow.

41
00:02:41.240 --> 00:02:46.479
So the museum part of my career begins. Around two

42
00:02:46.479 --> 00:02:49.360
thousand and eight, I saw that the Internet was starting

43
00:02:49.400 --> 00:02:54.439
to detimate the music industry, and then the print journalism

44
00:02:54.520 --> 00:02:57.280
game so I started to see if I could work

45
00:02:57.319 --> 00:03:00.000
with music related museums. The first thing I did was

46
00:03:00.199 --> 00:03:03.360
text for the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles when that

47
00:03:03.520 --> 00:03:06.879
was first going out. I worked as a consultant for

48
00:03:06.960 --> 00:03:10.960
the Musical Instrument Museum in Phoenix, where I'm now located,

49
00:03:11.159 --> 00:03:16.960
and I consulted with the Metropolitan Museum of Art twenty

50
00:03:17.000 --> 00:03:20.199
sixteen on an exhibition of rock and roll instruments, a

51
00:03:20.360 --> 00:03:23.599
historic exhibition really that they didn't called Play a Loud,

52
00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:28.159
which was actually named after a book I wrote. So

53
00:03:28.599 --> 00:03:31.879
on the basis of all of that, I was contacted

54
00:03:31.879 --> 00:03:36.240
by the World College of Music in London late last

55
00:03:36.319 --> 00:03:39.479
year and asked if I wanted to co curate an

56
00:03:39.520 --> 00:03:45.199
exhibition based around Nirvana Kurt Cobain, the historic of the

57
00:03:45.280 --> 00:03:48.520
Martin d eighteen e that Kirk played the sweater he

58
00:03:48.639 --> 00:03:53.479
wore on the MTV unplug program. So that's how I

59
00:03:53.520 --> 00:03:54.319
come to be here.

60
00:03:55.199 --> 00:03:58.120
Well, you know what's really cool, especially when I got

61
00:03:58.120 --> 00:04:01.240
the press release about this, is that you know, I

62
00:04:01.280 --> 00:04:05.199
loved Nirvana and I love heavy, heavy music, and the

63
00:04:05.280 --> 00:04:10.360
thing is is that unplugged performance is probably my favorite

64
00:04:10.360 --> 00:04:13.599
of Nirvana, which you would think somebody that's in real heavy.

65
00:04:13.360 --> 00:04:19.279
They may not be, but that acoustic performance was amazing.

66
00:04:19.600 --> 00:04:24.160
Can you tell us what made that guitar that he

67
00:04:24.279 --> 00:04:25.959
was using so iconic?

68
00:04:27.120 --> 00:04:30.680
Well, a few things. It's a very rare instrument for long.

69
00:04:31.000 --> 00:04:35.920
It was made in nineteen fifty nine by Martin Guitar Company.

70
00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:39.279
It was a very noted maker of acoustic guitars. But

71
00:04:39.680 --> 00:04:41.879
in fifty nine the world was going crazy for the

72
00:04:41.920 --> 00:04:45.759
electric guitar. Rock and roll was happening, so Martin wanted

73
00:04:45.759 --> 00:04:48.279
to get in on that game, so they came out

74
00:04:48.279 --> 00:04:52.560
with an electric model with dace. They put some pickups

75
00:04:52.600 --> 00:04:56.000
on it. Unfortunately, it didn't sound that great as an

76
00:04:56.040 --> 00:04:59.800
acoustic guitar, so the model wasn't very successful as there

77
00:04:59.800 --> 00:05:01.879
was a they only made three hundred and two of

78
00:05:01.920 --> 00:05:05.680
them total in the whole world. Wow. So for Kurt

79
00:05:05.759 --> 00:05:09.639
Cobain to come upon this instrument at a guitar show

80
00:05:09.720 --> 00:05:13.720
in La Voltage Guitar was, you know, you know, kind

81
00:05:13.759 --> 00:05:16.480
of a weird coincidence of history. If he if he hadn't,

82
00:05:17.079 --> 00:05:20.839
if he hadn't come upon that instrument, he probably it

83
00:05:21.240 --> 00:05:25.199
probably wouldn't it never would have claimed six million dollars

84
00:05:25.240 --> 00:05:28.839
at auction, but he adopted it. To make it his own.

85
00:05:28.920 --> 00:05:31.160
The way I look at it is that the guitar

86
00:05:31.279 --> 00:05:34.000
is kind of an outcast like Kurt. I mean, how

87
00:05:34.079 --> 00:05:36.639
punk is it to take a guitar that wasn't popular

88
00:05:36.759 --> 00:05:40.079
and you know, turn it into this iconic rock and

89
00:05:40.160 --> 00:05:40.920
roll instrument.

90
00:05:41.920 --> 00:05:45.160
That is something that sounds so Kurt, even though I

91
00:05:45.240 --> 00:05:49.639
never knew Kurt, but he just he seemed to be

92
00:05:50.040 --> 00:05:53.519
somebody like that. And then even the green sweater that

93
00:05:53.680 --> 00:05:56.800
was like his favorite and his final year of life.

94
00:05:58.199 --> 00:06:02.199
Do you have stories of why that sweater is so important?

95
00:06:03.839 --> 00:06:08.079
Uh? Well, as you said it was a favorite of

96
00:06:08.120 --> 00:06:12.199
his in his last year of life. It's again it's

97
00:06:12.279 --> 00:06:15.240
very indicative of her who Kurt Cobain was. I mean,

98
00:06:15.240 --> 00:06:20.040
the whole the adopting thrift shop fair wearing inexpensive clothing

99
00:06:20.519 --> 00:06:23.160
other people's cast off was very much part of the

100
00:06:23.199 --> 00:06:29.480
grunge esthetic nineties and really has its origin in the

101
00:06:29.519 --> 00:06:32.639
punk explosion of the seventies. That Johnny Rotten of The

102
00:06:32.720 --> 00:06:36.480
Sex also wore ripped up sweaters. But for you know,

103
00:06:36.600 --> 00:06:39.800
for Kirk to keep wearing this kind of garment after

104
00:06:39.839 --> 00:06:44.160
he she worldwide fame as a rock star, I see

105
00:06:44.160 --> 00:06:46.360
as a kind of a statement you know, a show

106
00:06:46.399 --> 00:06:49.959
of solidarity with his Indian rock roots, a way of saying,

107
00:06:50.600 --> 00:06:53.680
you know, come as you are. In a way, this

108
00:06:53.720 --> 00:06:56.360
is who I am. Take me as you know, take

109
00:06:56.399 --> 00:06:58.839
me as you find me. So I think it's significant

110
00:06:58.879 --> 00:07:02.000
for that event, for that for that reason, I mean,

111
00:07:02.160 --> 00:07:05.759
and uh, and it's it's it's marked by Kurt. It's

112
00:07:05.800 --> 00:07:09.040
got cigarette burns, there's some kind of mysterious stain in

113
00:07:09.040 --> 00:07:11.639
one of the pockets that he really knows what the

114
00:07:11.680 --> 00:07:15.800
hell that is. And uh, it's missing a button. It's

115
00:07:15.839 --> 00:07:17.199
it's a real lived in garment.

116
00:07:18.079 --> 00:07:18.399
Wow.

117
00:07:18.600 --> 00:07:18.839
Yeah.

118
00:07:18.959 --> 00:07:21.480
And you know it just says something because he was

119
00:07:21.519 --> 00:07:25.120
a true musician. And I say that in the fact

120
00:07:25.160 --> 00:07:30.480
that most iconic musicians have no clue nor did they

121
00:07:30.519 --> 00:07:33.240
want to be a quote unquote rock star.

122
00:07:34.759 --> 00:07:39.800
Yeah. Yeah, well Kurt wasn't. Kurt wasn't there wasn't it

123
00:07:39.800 --> 00:07:42.319
wasn't comfortable with being a rock star. I mean, you

124
00:07:42.360 --> 00:07:46.319
know that's fir. He he did everything he could to

125
00:07:46.600 --> 00:07:51.199
uh avoid being seen in that life. But it's inevitable.

126
00:07:51.240 --> 00:07:53.279
I mean, you know, he was. He was so important

127
00:07:53.279 --> 00:07:55.879
to so many people. He just had a hard time

128
00:07:55.920 --> 00:07:58.160
dealing with us. Yeah.

129
00:07:58.560 --> 00:08:01.360
Absolutely, And see me, that's what makes him a true

130
00:08:01.480 --> 00:08:04.319
musician because he was doing it truly for the art

131
00:08:04.399 --> 00:08:07.240
itself and the love of the art. And you know,

132
00:08:07.279 --> 00:08:12.480
it's kind of unfortunate that really that theme and everything

133
00:08:12.800 --> 00:08:15.480
kind of I think got to him a lot, you know,

134
00:08:16.079 --> 00:08:18.399
and he just wanted to play music.

135
00:08:20.160 --> 00:08:22.720
Yeah, yeah, I think it was. It was definitely a

136
00:08:22.720 --> 00:08:26.399
factor in his decision to end his life. And I mean,

137
00:08:26.480 --> 00:08:29.759
you know, he wrote a sort of farewell known he

138
00:08:30.240 --> 00:08:32.600
made it clear that the discomfort with with the rock

139
00:08:32.639 --> 00:08:35.840
star thing was part of part of what drove him

140
00:08:35.879 --> 00:08:39.320
to it. It's really tragic. Yeah, he's he's he's one

141
00:08:39.320 --> 00:08:41.399
of the He's one of the tragic heroes of rock

142
00:08:41.559 --> 00:08:42.440
history for sure.

143
00:08:43.240 --> 00:08:47.000
Absolutely. And so let's talk about the Royal College of

144
00:08:47.240 --> 00:08:51.799
Music Museum. So let's tell our listeners a little more

145
00:08:51.840 --> 00:08:54.919
about that and about you know, what they and why

146
00:08:54.960 --> 00:08:56.480
people should check it out.

147
00:08:57.720 --> 00:09:01.559
Okay, Well, the Royal Colleges with the Royal College of

148
00:09:01.639 --> 00:09:04.879
Music Museums in London. It's in Kensington. It dates back

149
00:09:04.919 --> 00:09:09.840
to the nineteenth century. It is uh principally a classical

150
00:09:09.960 --> 00:09:13.960
music school. This is their first ever rock and roll exhibition. Wow.

151
00:09:14.200 --> 00:09:18.279
The leadership Yeah yeah, yeah, So it's uh we're we're,

152
00:09:18.320 --> 00:09:23.200
we're we're we're rocking the Royal We're rocking the Royal here. Uh.

153
00:09:23.320 --> 00:09:28.559
The leadership decided that they wanted to expand their horizons

154
00:09:28.639 --> 00:09:32.440
a little bit, reach, reach, reach a wider group of people, uh,

155
00:09:32.639 --> 00:09:37.039
create some cross cultural dialogue. So so they decided to

156
00:09:37.240 --> 00:09:42.159
uh to do this rock and roll exhibition. And uh,

157
00:09:42.600 --> 00:09:46.000
the way it came about is is the entrepreneur Peter

158
00:09:46.080 --> 00:09:50.120
Friedman had purchased the Kobaying guitar at auction, and he

159
00:09:50.240 --> 00:09:53.879
purchased it with the with the intention of sharing it

160
00:09:53.919 --> 00:09:57.080
with the world. He definitely didn't want to just keep

161
00:09:57.080 --> 00:09:59.720
this locked up in his in his office or his

162
00:09:59.759 --> 00:10:02.919
living room. He wanted he wanted Kurt's fans to be

163
00:10:02.960 --> 00:10:06.360
able to see this instrument and learn learn about its

164
00:10:06.440 --> 00:10:11.039
history and everything. So he and he's also a benefactor

165
00:10:11.120 --> 00:10:13.639
of the Royal College of Music, so he kind of

166
00:10:13.639 --> 00:10:17.559
got together with the college and said, let's let's put

167
00:10:17.600 --> 00:10:21.399
this on exhibit at your at your museum. Uh. And

168
00:10:21.519 --> 00:10:24.879
then my job, along with my co curator, uh Gabrielle

169
00:10:25.480 --> 00:10:29.120
Rossi Rognoni, who's who's the curator of the Royal College

170
00:10:29.159 --> 00:10:32.080
Museum itself, our our job was to build an exhibition

171
00:10:32.159 --> 00:10:34.919
around that, which she which we set out doing. We

172
00:10:34.919 --> 00:10:38.480
were able to obtain the sweater, which also sold met

173
00:10:37.600 --> 00:10:41.799
a record price at auction, and uh, and we went

174
00:10:41.840 --> 00:10:42.279
from there.

175
00:10:43.679 --> 00:10:46.639
I would have bought bought the sweater and I don't

176
00:10:46.679 --> 00:10:52.840
even wear those type of sweaters. I was just gonna

177
00:10:52.840 --> 00:10:55.840
say it was iconic because if I think of Kurt Cobain,

178
00:10:55.960 --> 00:10:57.120
I think of that sweater.

179
00:10:58.360 --> 00:11:00.759
Oh yeah, A lot of people, A lot of people

180
00:11:00.799 --> 00:11:03.840
see him that way. He's often seen in posters with that.

181
00:11:04.120 --> 00:11:06.799
It's also kind of interesting how much he's seen in

182
00:11:06.840 --> 00:11:12.639
posters as a saint or an angel or Jesus even,

183
00:11:12.799 --> 00:11:16.679
you know, almost almost like a religious icon in a way.

184
00:11:16.720 --> 00:11:19.480
And I think the sweater is part of that iconography,

185
00:11:19.559 --> 00:11:22.039
part of the image absolutely.

186
00:11:23.159 --> 00:11:28.360
So where do you think Nirvana would be today if

187
00:11:28.440 --> 00:11:31.320
Kurt had still lived In your opinion.

188
00:11:32.360 --> 00:11:36.480
That's really hard to say. I think they would. I

189
00:11:36.519 --> 00:11:38.879
think they would still be around if Kurt had been

190
00:11:38.919 --> 00:11:42.679
able to straighten out some of his personal problems. And

191
00:11:43.919 --> 00:11:46.080
I'd like to think that they would have stuck together.

192
00:11:46.159 --> 00:11:49.720
And I would like to think that the direction that

193
00:11:49.759 --> 00:11:56.440
they were starting to pursue with MTV unplugged more acoustic sounds,

194
00:11:56.879 --> 00:12:01.120
weaving a cello into the mix, and involvement for Pat Smear,

195
00:12:01.360 --> 00:12:05.399
who'd really just joined the band after their last studio

196
00:12:05.480 --> 00:12:09.120
album in Utero. I think they would have developed in

197
00:12:09.120 --> 00:12:11.120
a nice way, and I think that they are important

198
00:12:11.240 --> 00:12:14.519
enough that you know that they would still be around

199
00:12:14.559 --> 00:12:16.600
in one way or another. I mean, rock and roll

200
00:12:16.639 --> 00:12:20.600
has gone through so many profound changes in the digital era,

201
00:12:20.759 --> 00:12:24.120
but the cream has always risen to the top, and

202
00:12:24.200 --> 00:12:27.519
I think I think that Kurt Cobain and Nirvana would

203
00:12:27.519 --> 00:12:29.480
have would have been among the cream for sure.

204
00:12:30.600 --> 00:12:36.320
Well, I tend to agree. So basically, the opening is

205
00:12:37.000 --> 00:12:45.399
on June third, correct, correct? And when's it lasting till?

206
00:12:45.559 --> 00:12:48.879
It runs until November eighteenth of this year?

207
00:12:50.159 --> 00:12:54.720
And how do people you know book two? I know

208
00:12:55.360 --> 00:12:59.799
that there's a you know, open on April thirtieth. To

209
00:12:59.840 --> 00:13:03.360
be able to join the wait list or to be

210
00:13:03.440 --> 00:13:05.759
able to go see it, can you tell everybody a

211
00:13:05.759 --> 00:13:07.919
little bit about what they need to do and how

212
00:13:07.919 --> 00:13:13.720
they can connect to the museum and any other pertinent

213
00:13:13.799 --> 00:13:14.919
information like that?

214
00:13:16.080 --> 00:13:19.759
Sure tickets are Tickets are available through the museum's website,

215
00:13:19.840 --> 00:13:26.080
I believe, which is a RCM dot ac dot UK

216
00:13:26.759 --> 00:13:31.440
slash Kurt Cobain, or if you just google Royal College

217
00:13:31.440 --> 00:13:34.159
of Music Kurt Cobain, you should be able to find

218
00:13:34.200 --> 00:13:39.120
Your tickets are five pounds five quid, a very affordable ticket.

219
00:13:39.759 --> 00:13:45.559
And I'm not sure about the waiting list, but I

220
00:13:46.240 --> 00:13:47.600
hope everybody gets to see this.

221
00:13:49.039 --> 00:13:51.919
I hope they do too. It's really really cool. Is

222
00:13:51.919 --> 00:13:54.279
there anything else you want to add that the listeners

223
00:13:54.360 --> 00:13:54.799
need to know?

224
00:13:56.159 --> 00:13:58.440
Well, just really that this is the first time that

225
00:13:58.440 --> 00:14:01.759
the guitar will be seen out site of Australia where

226
00:14:01.919 --> 00:14:06.080
Peter Friedman lives. It's never been exhibited before, and this

227
00:14:06.200 --> 00:14:08.080
is this is the first time that the guitar and

228
00:14:08.120 --> 00:14:11.679
the sweater will be seen together. We've been able to

229
00:14:11.679 --> 00:14:13.519
bring them together. I don't know if that's going to

230
00:14:13.600 --> 00:14:19.120
happen again. So if so, for your American listeners, if if,

231
00:14:19.480 --> 00:14:22.200
if it's within your budget at all to travel to

232
00:14:22.279 --> 00:14:25.799
London and you're a Nirvana fan, it would be worth

233
00:14:25.919 --> 00:14:30.320
the trip. And if and for any English listeners or

234
00:14:30.399 --> 00:14:33.799
European listeners, we hope you can make it down.

235
00:14:35.200 --> 00:14:37.440
I hope they do too, because it is I think

236
00:14:37.440 --> 00:14:40.080
a once in a lifetime opportunity. And I'm going to

237
00:14:40.120 --> 00:14:42.679
tell you something too that you're going to find pretty funny.

238
00:14:42.759 --> 00:14:46.679
But we are actually our board that we use to

239
00:14:46.759 --> 00:14:50.440
