In London, March 23, 2013, the Victoria and Albert Museum will host an exhibition that will reveal to London viewers all facets of David Bowie's work. The exposition will include rare recordings, photographs and personal belongings of the singer.
The first official exhibition dedicated to David Bowie, his life and work, will open in London March 23, 2013. The exhibition will be truly unique, as the organizers managed to get permission to demonstrate the personal belongings of the legendary musician as part of the exhibition.
David Bowie has made an invaluable contribution to world music culture. He influenced the work of many world famous musicians, becoming in his time a real symbol of the musical era. Despite the fact that today Bowie is full of strength and health, he does not intend to continue his creative career. The singer gave his last concerts in 2006, after which he finally stopped musical activity.
In memory of his fans, David Bowie remained an outstanding musician and a talented film actor, and the organizers of the exposition set themselves the goal of revealing all the facets of his work for modern viewers.
The exhibition will feature several hundred unique exhibits that were borrowed from the personal archive of David Bowie, currently residing in the United States. Viewers will see genuine diaries and manuscripts, see how Bowie’s famous hits were created, can admire his best costumes and study rare photographs. The exhibition will not do without musical instruments that belonged to the singer personally. For everyone, the museum will be broadcasting video clips featuring David Bowie and the films in which he played. In particular, the famous Labyrinth will be shown at the exhibition.
The initiators of the exhibition intend to organize a world tour to introduce the audience to the exhibition not only in the UK, but also in other countries. Where exactly the collection will go after July 28, when the exhibition ends in London, has not yet been announced.
