A new exhibition to honor Irish rock legend Philip Lynott is set to take place in Dublin in 2011.

Along with guitars, basses and other equipment used by Philip Lynott, there will also be tour jackets worn by the singer, flight cases used by Thin Lizzy, lyric books, school reports and Lynott's shares in Manchester United Football Club on display – as well as personal letters, cards and other unique items collected by his mother Philomena and other friends over the years.
