Still In Love With You: The Philip Lynott Exhibition opened in Dublin in 2011 to rave reviews and ran for an incredible eight months in the Creative Space at the Stephen's Green Shopping Centre. It subsequently moved to London for a successful run at The O2, before returning to Dublin for another three months. The exhibition was widely acclaimed by musicians, by fans and by there media, with Tony Fenton of Today FM describing it as "The greatest rock exhibition ever."
