Although I read some negative remark concerning David Stanley on the formum, I made the trip to Amsterdam to see the Footsteps of Elvis exhibition.
I must admit that it is a nice exhibition. Especially for people who have not been to Graceland. Although I have been to Graceland, I did also enjoy this exibition. It is not to often that we are able to see these kind of Elvis artifacts here in Holland
Also the pictures of Lew Allen which are on display where very nice.

footsteps
Peter van brummelen journalist for Dutch daily Het Parool had nothing positive to say about the exhibition here in Amserdam. He wasnt very impressed with the piece of soap from the Lisa Marie, the brick from the Beverly Hills house or the framed piece of carpet from one of the rooms at Graceland!... Peter, a huge fan of both Elvis and Sinatra, wrote that the importance of EP as one of the greatest icons of the 20th Century could not be recognized as such at this exhibition. A info display card will tell you about a psychedelic lamp to view, but who and what Elvis was...no word. I pass.

Re: footsteps
This is true. The exhibition was in Finland in the summer and I saw it. Nothing is told about Elvis the man or his music and as EP Collector has stated most of the items are fakes.Tallhair AKA Ger Rijff wrote: A info display card will tell you about a psychedelic lamp to view, but who and what Elvis was...no word.

Yes, it's the same collection. David Stanley was in Liverpool too, wasn't he?ME4EP wrote:This sounds like a re-working of 'The FINGERPRINTS Of Elvis' exhibition that was in Liverpool UK a few years ago.
I hear most of the same items are on display.
