Richard Gray, Queen’s archivist, put together the 110 photos that comprise the Freddie Mercury photo exhibition. The photo exhibition was not a fundraiser but was specifically put together in order to raise awareness of the AIDS issue. It opened at the Royal Albert Hall in London on 22nd November 1996 and was kept open to the public for a four week period. Freddie’s mother Jer Bulsara along with Brian and Roger attended the opening along with many celebrities. Since then the photo exhibition has travelled the world. It has visited France, Germany, Switzerland, India, Romania, Japan, and back in the UK it has been to Portsmouth and Leeds.
The exhibition has now found a permanent home at the Dominion Theatre in London where the musical We Will Rock You is now in its 8th year.
