Rolling Stones museum operated by married couple opens in Luechow, Germany
An unofficial Rolling Stones
museum has opened in Luechow, Germany. The museum, which is not
endorsed or authorized by the Rolling Stones, is owned and operated by
married couple Ulrich and Birgit Schroeder. The grand opening of the
museum took place on April 27, 2012.
According to AFP, the museum has thousands of Rolling Stones collectible items on display, including an original signed pool table the group took on tour, instruments, posters and a Stones pinball machine. One of the most talked-about items in the collection is a urinal in the shape of the Rolling Stones' mouth logo.
Birgit Schroeder told AFP: "People came from far away just to use the toilet."
The Schroeders hope that the members of the Rolling Stones will visit the museum one day.
Birgit Schroeder added: "There's constant contact between us and the Stones. The problem is that it is up to the management to decide, not the band. But we think that if the Rolling Stones are anywhere in the vicinity that they will come to visit us. But we can't expect them to fly over from San Francisco or Ireland just to visit the museum."
