The Grammy Museum will open “Olivia Rodrigo: the cure unraveled,” an exhibition featuring the handmade sets, props and artwork from Olivia Rodrigo’s “the cure” music video, on Sept. 2.
The exhibition, presented by American Express, will run through Feb. 22, 2027. It will include Rodrigo’s nurse costume, original storyboards, behind-the-scenes photographs, props from the video and interactive photo opportunities, according to the museum.
The museum also plans an expanded version of the show in early fall featuring previously unseen artifacts from Rodrigo’s career. Details about those additions have not yet been announced.
“The Cure,” from Rodrigo’s third studio album, you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love, places the singer in a handmade hospital as a nurse trying to revive and repair felt hearts. The video was co-directed by Cat Solen and Rodrigo’s creative director, Jaime Gerin, and combines live action, miniatures, practical effects, puppetry, stop-motion animation and visual effects.
Production designer Liam Moore led a team of more than two dozen craftspeople who worked for about a month to create the video’s tactile setting. The production incorporated hand-painted surfaces, miniature sets, animatronic and felt heart puppets, and repurposed materials, including plastic takeout containers used to make the operating room’s glass-block windows.
Rodrigo said the exhibition is a “full circle moment,” noting that she grew up visiting the Grammy Museum. She said the display will initially focus on pieces from “the cure” and later add personal items from the past decade that have not been publicly shown.
A Sept. 1 evening program with Rodrigo will precede the public opening. The event includes a conversation moderated by filmmaker and author Cameron Crowe, a live performance and early access to the exhibition.
American Express card members will have access to a presale beginning at 10:30 a.m. Pacific time Friday, Aug. 28, through 11 a.m. Pacific time Saturday, Aug. 29, subject to terms.
The Grammy Museum is at L.A. Live in downtown Los Angeles. Ticket information is available through the Grammy Museum website.
