To celebrate the 40th anniversary of heavy metal legends, GWAR, BEYOND THE STREETS proudly announces LET THERE BE GWAR, a sprawling retrospective showcasing the legacy of the legendary art collective and shock rock band.
Opening September 12 and running through November 2, 2025, this exhibition is a free-to-attend deep dive into the outrageous universe that GWAR has spent four decades constructing through music, performance, and subversive visual art. You can checkout the exhibit at Beyond The Streets – 434 N La Brea Ave, Los Angeles, CA.
LET THERE BE GWAR chronicles this intergalactic saga through the most comprehensive assembly of GWAR artifacts ever seen. The exhibition features: Handcrafted costumes, instruments, weaponry, and stage props, video installations, monumental set pieces and spew tanks, a monster toilet, artwork, and rare ephemera. Every square inch of the gallery transformed into the GWAR universe.
With characters like Oderus Urungus, Techno-Destructo, BälSäc The Jaws of Death, Beefcake The Mighty, Slymenstra Hymen, Jizmak Da Gusha, Berserker Blothar, and even a crack-addicted T-Rex named Gor-Gor, just to name a few… the band has not only carved out its niche but obliterated expectations for what a musical performance can be.
