Smithsonian Museum acquires Parliament-Funkadelic Mothership
The Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History and Culture have acquired The Mothership, the iconic stage prop made famous by George Clinton’s legendary funk collective Parliament-Funkadelic in their live shows. The ship, which has been donated by Clinton, will help anchor a permanent music exhibition when the museum opens in Washington, D.C in 2015.
