If you haven't already seen the blurb/hype, this is a romp through the 50 plus years the Rolling Stones have been making music and headlines and an absolute 'must see' for any Rolling Stones fan. From the opening multi screen video montage, which you could never recreate on a TV or cinema screen, through to the 3D screening of the band tearing through (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction at Hyde Park in 2013, this is an unmissable experience.
There are criticisms. There's too little credit given to Brian's role in the early days of the band, and not a great deal about the drug busts that have littered the Stones career either. And a couple of the rooms have plenty to see but are not laid out well enough to allow people to see things easily. (On both the occasions I went, there were bottlenecks at the display cases showing Keith's 1960s diaries, one of the few truly personal items on display, contrasting with The Jam exhibition currently on in Liverpool, which is crammed with stuff from the Weller family loft).
But it's a chance to see the biggest band in the world in a way you've never seen them before, and at £23.50 it's money well spent.
Exhibitionism runs at the Saatchi Gallery until 4 September.
