David Bowie has made an invaluable contribution to world music culture. He influenced the work of many world famous musicians, becoming at one 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 his musical activity.
In the memory of his fans, David Bowie remained an outstanding musician and talented film actor, and the organizers of the exhibition set themselves the goal of revealing all 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, who currently resides in the United States. Viewers will see authentic diaries and manuscripts, see how Bowie's famous hits were created, admire his finest costumes and explore rare photographs. The exhibition will not do without musical instruments that belonged to the singer personally. For all comers, the museum will broadcast video clips with the participation of David Bowie and 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 acquaint viewers with the exposition not only in Great Britain, 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.
