Around 300 pieces owned by the rock’n’roll king himself will make their way Down Under for this major new biographical exhibition.

Dust off your blue suede shoes, Victoria.

Next year, from March 19 to July 17, a new biographical exhibition centred around rock’n’roll king Elvis Presley is coming to the Bendigo Art Gallery. It’s a major coup.

Direct from his Graceland home, it will feature around 300 pieces owned by the 20th-century icon of music, fashion, art and more. Expect to deep-dive into his early years, his soaring music career and the lasting impact he’s had on pop culture worldwide.

Among the artefacts heading Down Under for this Bendigo exclusive: his racing-red 1960 MG convertible and custom 1976 Harley Davidson, as well as a whole lot of ultra-cool Vegas jumpsuits, military uniforms and even his first-grade crayon box.

Tickets are on sale now here.
