David Bowie exhibition opens in London: Tickets and how to get to the V&A East Storehouse
David Bowie fans will be able to step into the world of the musical icon in a new exhibition coming to London.
London is set to host a new permanent archive dedicated to the one and only David Bowie this month.
Honouring his life on stage and behind the scenes, the collection which features over 80,000 items will regularly be used for special curated exhibitions.
The first exhibition has been designed by Bowie-collaborator, Nile Rodgers, and Brit-Award-winning indie rock band The Last Dinner Party.
Bowie’s Serious Moonlight tour suit and handwritten lyrics for ‘Win’ from the 1974 album Young Americans are just some of the items that have been included in the first display.
Here’s everything David Bowie fans need to know about the new London exhibition space as it prepares to open in the capital.
