Olivia Rodrigo now has two exhibits at the Grammy Museum. Olivia Rodrigo note by note, presented by American Express, opened on September 25 as the second half of the museum’s Rodrigo exhibitions, and it stays on view through February 22, 2027, the Beverly Press reports. Where the first show went deep on a single music video, this one walks through her whole career so far.

The museum’s list reads like a fan’s dream closet. There are stage-worn outfits, handwritten letters to fans and the knee-high Dr. Martens from the Sour Tour, plus stage outfits from her Guts World Tour performances at Inglewood’s Intuit Dome and the official tour megaphone. The dresses she wore for the front, back and interior cover art of her third album, you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love, are here too, along with the pink electric guitar from the “drop dead” video and items from her Daisy Chain Fields festival.

It builds on Olivia Rodrigo the cure unraveled, which opened in early September. That show brings back the handmade hospital from her video for “the cure,” built almost entirely of hand-painted cardboard by production designer Liam Moore, with a cardboard X-ray, an animatronic heart that beats at the push of a button and her retro nurse costume turning on a turntable, the Daily News reported.

Rodrigo previewed it on September 1 with a rooftop conversation with Cameron Crowe and a five-song acoustic set for an audience of about 200, Variety reported. She told the crowd her mother remembered their frequent visits when she was a young teenager. “If 13/14-year-old Olivia knew she had her own exhibit at the Grammy Museum, she’d be pretty stoked,” she said. Velvet also covered A Rooftop Conversation Downtown, Brandi Carlile and Cameron Crowe Talk Returning to Myself at the Grammy Museum.

The museum is at 800 West Olympic Boulevard, and the Daily News listed admission at $22.50 for adults, with free entry for children 17 and under. Rodrigo returns to Intuit Dome herself in January 2027, when Billboard’s schedule for her Unraveled Tour lists ten Los Angeles nights.
