Read full details
This event celebrates the life and work of David Bowie, drawing inspiration from the landmark touring exhibition *David Bowie Is*, which originally opened at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London in March 2013. Over its five-year run, that exhibition visited 12 museums worldwide and attracted over two million visitors, showcasing around 500 objects at each stop—including performance costumes, handwritten lyrics, and Bowie's own paintings.
Attendees can expect an immersive experience featuring over 60 performance costumes, more than 50 video pieces, and artefacts from Bowie's personal archive. The exhibition is organized thematically rather than chronologically, highlighting his influence as a style icon, his work as a painter and illustrator, and his role as a tech enthusiast. Items on display may include outfits by designers such as Alexander McQueen and Vivienne Westwood, along with rare concert footage and music videos.
This show offers a unique opportunity to explore the depth of Bowie's creative legacy, from his early days to his final album. The original exhibition became the V&A's fastest-selling show and remains the most visited in its history.
