A new permanent display about Jimi Hendrix will open on Friday, June 19, 2026, at Handel Hendrix House – the Mayfair museum once home to composer G.F.

Handel and rock legend Jimi Hendrix at 25 Brook Street.

The exhibit features previously unseen archive material about Hendrix's life and music.

Entry to the display is included in the admission price.

The documents are from the corporate records of Anim Records, the company that managed The Jimi Hendrix Experience and other acts, including The Animals.

Whilst Anim Records founder Mike Jeffrey was officially Hendrix’s manager, the day-to-day affairs of Hendrix and the bands were looked after by Patricia ‘Trixie’ Sullivan.

Trixie forged an incredible career in music, entertainment, and fashion throughout the swinging sixties and beyond, blazing a trail for other women to follow.

Through these previously unseen materials, visitors to the museum will be able to picture the everyday life of Jimi Hendrix.

From dry cleaning tickets for his incredible clothes and unpaid bills for the two phones he had in his flat, to invoices for the music equipment that helped shape his trailblazing sound; these documents are rare survivals that bring us closer to Jimi’s life in London both on and off stage.

Visitors will also be able to read extracts of Trixie's 60s diaries, in which stories of gigs, late nights, and parties dance off the page.

These items were recently acquired by Handel Hendrix House with the support of The National Lottery Heritage Fund, thanks to money raised by National Lottery players.

The archive will go on display in an exhibition at Handel Hendrix House that sets Jimi's life in London in context, after which museum visitors explore the bedroom of the flat he shared with Kathy Etchingham, which has been meticulously recreated.

The project will also create a digital catalogue of the collection accessible online.

The house is open Wednesday – Sunday 10 AM – 17 PM (last entry at 4 PM).

Tickets are £14.50 for adults, £10.50 for students, and free for under-12s.

Tickets can be purchased in advance on the website handelhendrix.org but it is possible to buy a ticket on the day at the museum.

Nearest Tube: Bond Street.
