Los Angeles, Jun 23 (PTI) The Rolling Stones' touring exhibition of rare and unseen artefacts is heading to New York later this year.

The veteran band helped to collect dozens of items from their past, including instruments, letters, posters, stage set designs, personal diaries, and audio and video tracks and launched Exhibitionism at London's Saatchi Gallery in April, reported Billboard magazine.

The band's items will now travel across the ocean for a new show at the West Village's Industria Superstudio in November.

"We've been thinking about this for quite a long time but we wanted it to be just right and on a large scale," Mick Jagger said in a statement.

"It's not going to be like walking into a museum. It's going to be an event, an experience. It's about a sense of the Rolling Stones it's something we want people to go away talking about it."

Other highlights from the exhibit include a complete history of the Stones' iconic, John Pasche-created "lips" logo, a video and movie gallery that screens portions of widely-bootlegged documentary Cocksucker Blues and 3D concert footage and tons of memorabilia and ephemera from the band's personal archives that were housed in a London warehouse, much of it untouched over the past half-century.
