THE COLLECTOR BEHIND THE COLLECTION
Meet our
curator.
Gentry Allen
Gentry Allen is a Rolling Stones memorabilia collector and the curator of CAUTION! Stones Ahead in Florence, Alabama. He began collecting at age 14, after first discovering the band through the album Voodoo Lounge. That early interest grew into a long-running effort to find, study, and preserve objects connected to the group’s music and cultural history. Today, visitors can explore pieces from his collection at the museum’s public exhibition of Rolling Stones memorabilia. Allen’s work brings collectors, longtime fans, and new generations of music history enthusiasts together in the Shoals region of northwest Alabama.
