Music Memorabilia - Make It a Feature

Music has a way of sticking with us. It lifts us, moves us, and reminds us of places we’ve been. Whether it’s the first band you ever saw live or the first song you played on repeat, every note carries a story.

Framing your music memorabilia lets those stories live on. Instead of holding old records or tour tees in a box, you can turn them into striking pieces that celebrate memories and what you love. From signed albums to vintage posters, a custom frame transforms your memories into décor that sparks joy every day.

Why frame your music memorabilia?

Framing your music memorabilia not only enhances its appearance but also preserves it. Posters fade, records warp, and shirts gather dust over time. Professional framing protects your memorabilia from sunlight, moisture, and other forms of damage. The things you cherish can stay protected for years to come.

A well-designed music memorabilia display also tells your story. Maybe it’s your first festival wristband, a signed setlist, or a photo with your favourite band. Whatever it is, framing it gives those memories a permanent place to shine, and a reason to smile every time you walk past.

What musical items should I frame?

When it comes to memorabilia framing , your imagination’s the only limit. Our PFA-qualified framers have helped Aussies turn just about anything into a show-stopping display.

Here are some popular items we’ve framed since 2005:

• Vinyl records (7” and 12”) with or without album covers
• Signed T-shirts and limited edition merch
• VIP passes and festival lanyards
• Drumsticks, picks, and drum skins
• CDs, cassettes, and autographed photos
• Tour posters and ticket stubs
• Small instruments like tambourines or harmonicas in display cases

You can even combine several keepsakes, for example, a band tee, ticket stub, and drumsticks, into one custom frame that captures the full concert story. It’s a great way to celebrate a favourite artist or gift something unforgettable to the music lover in your life.

How to Frame Memorabilia the Right Way

When it comes to framing music memorabilia, a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what to consider:

• Layout Matters: Arrange your items on a flat surface and find a layout that feels balanced.
• Protective materials: Always choose UV-protective glass and acid-free mats to prevent fading and yellowing.
• Add depth: For 3D items like picks or drumsticks, shadow box-style frames give a premium finish.
• Avoid direct sunlight: Keep framed pieces away from direct sunlight and humidity to prevent warping.

Our qualified framers can guide you through every choice, designing a display that is both visually striking and built to last.

Music memorabilia display ideas

Your collection deserves more than a quiet corner - it should be part of your home’s personality.

Here are some music memorabilia display ideas to get inspired:

• Build a “music wall” with framed records or photos.
• Feature your favourite album covers above your turntable or sound system.
• Use a memorabilia display case for instruments or signed pieces.
• Add subtle backlighting for a gallery-style finish.

Every home is different, and our framers can help design a layout that matches your space, whether you lean modern, vintage, or eclectic.

Professional Framing vs DIY

DIY framing might seem cheaper, but one wrong material can ruin something irreplaceable. Professional framers use conservation-grade materials and precision techniques to ensure every collectible is safely secured and beautifully presented.

Our experienced framers can also combine multiple items into one cohesive artwork - a result that’s almost impossible with off-the-shelf frames. When you’re framing something valuable or sentimental, quality craftsmanship makes all the difference.

Benefits of professional framing

Custom framing is the best way to protect and display your music memorabilia. Instead of leaving your records or tour shirts tucked away, professional framing lets them take centre stage.

Here’s what professional framing gives you:

• Protection from damage: Shields items from dust, mildew, fading and wear.
• Enhanced presentation: Turns band memorabilia and concert pieces into design features.
• Longevity: Conservation materials ensure your items last decades.
• Custom design: Each frame is built for your exact item - from a signed vinyl to a guitar pick.
• Personalised displays: Combine multiple pieces into one feature frame that tells your story.
• Display for large or delicate items: Showcase instruments or rare gear with custom-made display cases that suit your décor.

If something’s meaningful enough to frame, it’s worth doing right. Professional framing doesn’t just preserve your memorabilia; it turns it into art that celebrates your love for music every day.
