Rolling Stones Exhibit Makes US Debut In West Village
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) -- An exhibit highlighting The Rolling Stones' five-decade long career has crossed the pond and is now on display in New York City.
Mick Jagger, Ronnie Wood, Charlie Watts and Keith Richards celebrated the debut of the band's exhibit, "Exhibitionism -- The Rolling Stones," at Industria in the West Village on Tuesday night.
"They've been around for over 50 years and they've been a really important part of our popular culture," curator Eileen Gallagher said.
