Jimi Hendrix’s old apartment at 23 Brook Street in London—along with the next-door home once occupied by 18th-century composer George Frideric Handel—has been restored and incorporated into what is now the Handel Hendrix House museum. Among the artifacts currently on display in the Hendrix portion of the building, which opened to the public in 2016, are some of his guitars (of course), photographs, and what survives of his record collection. The records are fascinating as they give us an idea of what Hendrix was into at the time (he lived on Brook Street between 1968 and 1969).
