‘From Asbury Park to the Promised Land: The Life and Music of Bruce Springsteen’

Bruce Springsteen comes to the National Constitution Center, that opens on March 17th. Bruce Springsteen once said,

“The American idea is a beautiful idea. It needs to be preserved, served, protected and sung out. Sung out.”

Bruce Springsteen Exhibit Highlights

The anticipated exhibit of Bruce Springsteen is finally arriving at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia. This is an excellent exhibit because Springsteen represents ‘Freedom’ and the ‘American’ dream in some of his songs.

This is the first exhibit of Bruce Springsteen ever to be seen outside of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum. Here you will be able to take an extensive look at his childhood bands, his work with the E Street Band, and as a solo artist.

As a visitor, you’ll have the opportunity to view more than 150 artifacts, including the Fender Esquire guitar from the cover of Born to Run, the outfit Springsteen wore on the cover of Born in the U.S.A, his scrapbook of his newspaper clippings and family photos, numerous handwritten notes of his lyrics, and even his 1960 Corvette that he purchased after the success of ‘Born to Run.’

The Bruce Springsteen exhibit at the National Constitution Center will be extraordinary because it will teach us the importance of ‘Free Expression.’ The exhibit will also be featuring such things as Springsteen’s successful audition for Columbia Records in 1972, his first recording session, and hear some of his songs from his early years that were never released. This Springsteen exhibit is a can’t miss type of an event.
