The Groninger Museum will auction off one-of-a-kind items from the Rolling Stones – Unzipped exhibition in January. The star of the show is a reconstruction of the flat in Edith Grove, London, where Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Brian Jones lived together as young men. The online auction opens for bidding through Venduehuis on Wednesday 3 January and ends at 8pm on Monday 15 January. Registration opens on 3 January at venduehuis.com.

Other striking lots include a large tongue sculpture, currently on display on the bridge outside the Groninger Museum, and a Rolling Stones flag. Fans can also bid on a gold record issued by Universal Music to mark the sale of 20,000 copies of the album Hackney Diamonds. One of only two made, the disc is currently on view in the museum. Bidders keen to experience the band members up close can bid on life-sized cartoon figures designed by the comics artist Typex. The props were displayed in Universal Music’s pop-up shop in Groningen.
