Fifty-five years ago today, Pink Floyd released Relics - A Bizarre Collection Of Antiques and Curios, which contained various tracks from singles, More, and a previously unreleased Biding My Time. The original UK cover was hand-drawn by Nick Mason (later recreated as a 3D physical model) and here's an advert for the album:

Nine years ago today, The Pink Floyd Exhibition: Their Mortal Remains opened its first staging, at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London. It later travelled to various locations in other countries.

After the original run concluded in 1914, the Brighton Festival of arts restarted in 1967, with Pink Floyd appearing on the West Pier. In 1968, they performed at the University of Sussex in a show called The Gentle Sound Of Light, and after the event, this commemorative poster was created:

For this photo session on the 1994 Division Bell tour, the band had an interesting backdrop - the outdoor staging setup, with certain key elements to be revealed during the show...

Six months after their last appearance there, Pink Floyd returned to New York City's Carnegie Hall for a brace of shows to play their new work, with a temporary name changed to Eclipse rather than the more familiar title The Dark Side Of The Moon.

This 1970 advert includes a fairly accurate drawing of Pink Floyd, for their Santa Monica show which kicked off with Grantchester Meadows and concluded with an encore of A Saucerful Of Secrets.
