THE JIM IRSAY COLLECTION
Jim Irsay’s deep love for rock music, American history, and pop culture has driven him to curate an extraordinary collection of historically and culturally significant artifacts throughout the years, which together form The Jim Irsay Collection.
AS A SPIRITED PHILANTHROPIST, MR. IRSAY IS DETERMINED TO ESTABLISH A MUSEUM THAT WILL ALLOW THE WORLD TO REVEL IN THESE PRICELESS TREASURES.
THE CHALLENGE
In September 2021, Mr. Irsay graced the city of Nashville with his presence, eager to share a glimpse of his remarkable collection with his esteemed industry friends. With limited time, EES swiftly organized a truly exclusive VIP event for Mr. Irsay.
The hotel partner, recognizing the need for innovative ideas, reached out to EES for their creative assistance.
A SUCCESSFUL FIRST EVENT
At EES, we live by the core value of “being the best,” and that’s exactly what we achieved with our first event. Despite the challenges of limited time, we creatively solved problems and delivered a truly breathtaking experience. This event not only left a lasting impression but also paved the way for a strong relationship. Following the success in Nashville, we went on to organize an impressive total of 11 more events around the U.S., including two unforgettable occasions at the iconic home of the Indianapolis Colts.
THE WORLD TOUR
Each exhibit in The Jim Irsay Collection is meticulously crafted and designed to perfection by the EES team.
Every city presents its own set of obstacles when it comes to obtaining permits and ensuring security, all in the name of guaranteeing the safe and secure transfer of our priceless multi-million dollar memorabilia.
Furthermore, for every new city, we create a fresh and innovative event design, optimize the flow of the museum, and implement an effective crowd control plan. These measures are taken to guarantee that our more than 6,000 attendees have a truly immersive and enjoyable experience.
"To call Irsay’s collection breathtaking would not do it justice. Items on display ran the gamut from historical artifacts — such as letters from George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, the wanted poster for John Wilkes Booth and the Atlantic Charter signed by Winston Churchill and Franklin D. Roosevelt — to pop culture items such as Hunter S. Thompson’s “Red Shark” 1973 Chevrolet Caprice convertible."
