Rip It Up: Drum skins and giant robots

On a recent visit to our Rip It Up exhibition, Franz Ferdinand frontman Alex Kapranos told us more about the items on loan from the band. What inspired the giant robotic dancers that appeared with the band at the Reading Festival? Who designed them? All is revealed here… You can see objects on loan from Franz Ferdinand and many more Scottish artists in Rip It Up: The Story of Scottish Pop, which runs at the National Museum of Scotland until 25 November 2018.
