19 years after his death, the Grammy Museum will open the ‘All Eyez On Me: The Writings of Tupac Shakur’ exhibition on February 2, 2015 in honour of late rapper, Tupac Shakur.

The exhibit focuses on Tupac’s solo career as well as his work with Digital Underground. Grammy Museum’s Executive Director, Robert Santelli said in a statement to the Los Angeles Times: ‘Tupac Shakur was one of the most original and important of all hip-hop artists. His writings are both powerful and provocative. It is an honor to be the first music museum to acknowledge Tupac’s legacy and to bring context to what was an incredible career.’

The exhibition is scheduled to run from February 2nd to April 22 at the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles and is expected to feature handwritten notes, lyrics, poems, interview and performance footage, as well as clothes worn by the late rapper.

All items are being provided by the Tupac Shakur Estate run by Tupac’s mother, Afeni Shakur.

Highly regarded as one of the most influential figures of the rap game culture, Tupac died on September 13, 1996 in Las Vegas, Nevada, United States after he was viciously attacked in a drive-by incident which left him with several gunshot wounds.

The Grammy Museum is located at the Olympic boulevard, downtown Los Angeles and it opened in December 2008 as part of the 50th anniversary of the Grammy Awards.
