The Washington D.C.-based National Hip Hop Museum's art gallery, The House of Hip Hop, opened its new exhibit today (10/21) titled Hip Hop's Golden Age.
The exhibit is described as an immersive experience of Hip-Hop's golden years and features a replica of a Death Row electric chair, Rakim's Paid In Full jacket worn during a performance, one of the late Kangol Kid's Kangol hats, Keith Cowboy of Grandmaster Flash & The Furious 5's cowboy hat, and more.
"The exhibit's title "Hip-Hop's Golden Era" doesn't just refer to 1986-1996, it refers to the use of Gold throughout each Era in Hip-Hop’s 50-year history," National Hip Hop Museum founder Jeremy Beaver said of the exhibit.
