   new exhibits for 2009 at Graceland   
   23 Jan 09 10:17:04   
   
   From: luukbonthond@online.nl   
      
   The following highlights are some of the details on the four different   
   exhibits for the 2009 calendar:   
      
   . Graceland's 70th Anniversary Celebration/VIP Tour Exhibit - open January   
   2009: The colonial style mansion was built in 1939 by a prominent Memphis   
   family that later sold the historic home and surrounding 13 acres to Elvis   
   Presley in 1957. The 70th Anniversary exhibit, included as part of the VIP   
   Tour package, features the original architectural drawings of Graceland, a   
   signed check from Elvis for the down payment ($102,000) on the home, the   
   deed to Graceland and a video presentation that includes memories from those   
   who lived there, including the first family to call Graceland home.   
      
   . Elvis in Hollywood - slated for March 2009: With 31 films to his name and   
   box office smashes such as Love Me Tender and Jailhouse Rock, this new   
   exhibit focuses on Elvis' years in Tinsel Town and his success on the big   
   screen. The exhibit tells the story of how Elvis transitioned from singer to   
   on screen star and how he took Hollywood by storm to become its highest paid   
   actor. Also part of the exhibit will be memorabilia from his career on the   
   silver screen including his wardrobe (from Viva Las Vegas, Charro and   
   Jailhouse Rock), personal scripts (featuring his own handwritten notes),   
   rare behind the scenes photos, personal copies of his own feature films,   
   original movie and a variety of other Elvis movie memorabilia.   
      
   . Elvis Lives: The King and Pop Culture - slated for March 2009: This   
   interactive exhibit showcases Elvis in action as he entertains crowds in a   
   stunning video presentation. Visitors can also retrace Elvis' impact on pop   
   culture by taking a trip down an Elvis time line, test their knowledge at an   
   Elvis trivia kiosk and explore Elvis' music through listening stations that   
   features classics from the King of Rock 'N' Roll. Also included is a display   
   of Elvis collectibles from the 50s to some of today's must have memorabilia.   
      
   . Elvis Presley Automobile Museum - slated for March 2009: This Graceland   
   exhibit celebrates new additions with a special display featuring both of   
   Elvis' Rolls Royce sedans and his 6-door Mercedes Benz limousine featured in   
   the movie Elvis on Tour.
