The New York State Museum is seeking memorabilia relating to the 1969 Woodstock festival for use in its upcoming exhibition "Spirit of the Woodstock Generation: The Photographs of Elliott Landy."

The exhibition is planned for June 19 through September 6 to coincide with the 35th anniversary of the Woodstock festival. It will feature photographs taken by Landy, one of the festival's two official photographers, as well as other objects. The Museum is soliciting items from personal collections to complement the exhibition and will consider Woodstock-era photographs, ticket stubs, rock and roll memorabilia, jewelry and clothing worn at the festival, posters, programs, Woodstock souvenirs, or any appropriate objects with a connection to the historic event.

Those with objects they can loan for the exhibition should contact the Museum at NYSMWEB@MAIL.NYSED.GOV by May 1. Due to space limitations, the Museum may not be able to exhibit all objects submitted.
