memorabilia from the final concert on the around the world tour by Teignmouth rockers Muse is on display at Teignmouth Museum.

It came from their headlining Reading and Leeds festival gigs, which featured a set based on their iconic album, Origin of Symmetry, released ten years ago.

The show was the climax to global performances on virtually every continent, which started with the legendary Seaside Rendezvous on Teignmouth Den in September 2009.

The collection includes a T-shirt produced just for the final two gigs, an Origin of Symmetry disc and jacket cover, two unused dressing room backstage passes, and a full signed setlist.

It was donated to the Helen Foundation, which helps Teignbridge youngsters progress in the arts world, and will be shown at the museum until early November, when it will be put up for auction on eBay to raise funds for the charity.

The foundation was set up by Roger and Annie Kirk, of Shaldon, in memory of their daughter who was killed in a car accident.

Their son Tom is the media manager with Muse. He met them while all attended Teignmouth Community College.

The group are patrons of the foundation, and Mrs Kirk said the memorabilia was how they helped raise the image of the charity, and bring in funds.

'It is in this way that their generosity of spirit is felt – there is no expectation for them to contribute directly,' she said.

The collection was box framed at a special charity rate by The Framing Lot in Dawlish.

The foundation has recently pledged £20,000 to support Teignbridge schools in the year 2011-12 through subsidising artist led workshops that engage directly with young people in arts activities such as music, dance, painting, mask making and sculpture.

Last year more than 2,000 youngsters benefited from in and out of school workshops, foundation awards, special joint school projects, and individual bursaries.

Highlights included workshops like those at the former Inverteign in Teignmouth where pupils made Tibetan prayer flags, and Our Lady & St Patrick in the same town, where children took part in making willow sculptures and even a special Helen Foundation mosaic.

The foundation also sponsored workshops in Dawlish, Bovey Tracey, Ashburton, Newton Abbot and many villages.

It subsidised a South Dartmoor College visit to the Royal Opera House, bursaries to the National Youth Theatre and the Mountview Drama School, purchasing a drum kit and awards to children who their schools felt showed the most endeavour in the arts.

'All this is only made possible by donations. With the economic downturn, charity receipts are falling while the demand for help rises,' said Mr Kirk.

'In fact, we spent more than we took in last year, and this year will probably be no different. We are always grateful for fund raising ideas.'
