Bruce Springsteen is to have an exhibit dedicated to his career open later this week.
The 'Born in the USA' singer will be honoured with the display at The National Constitution Centre in Philadelphia on Friday, February 17.
It will be titled From Asbury Park to the Promised Land: The Life and Music of Bruce Springsteen and will contain a large collection of memorabilia including clothing and handwritten setlists.
"No other artist is as steeped in Americana or has better told the story of the American dream than Bruce Springsteen," the Centre's David Eisner told The Wall Street Journal.
"He's the perfect artist for a centre devoted to the robust discussion of American values to feature."
The museum will continue to run until September 3.
Bruce Springsteen's connection with the city includes his theme 'Streets of Philadelphia' for the Tom Hanks movie Philadelphia in 1993.
He opened the 54th Grammy Awards with his new single 'We Take Care of Our Own' last weekend (February 12).
