For the first time since the tragic death of David Bowie, the late icon’s legacy is being honored with a museum exhibition in New York. Coming to the Brooklyn Museum, the ‘David Bowie is’ exhibit explores Bowie’s creative process with an astounding 400 pieces from the singer’s personal archives including on-stage costumes, handwritten lyrics, video footage, and more. Originating from England’s Victoria & Albert Museum, the exhibit has been traveling the globe for the past five years and will make its final stop in New York.
This exhibition will be showcased at Brooklyn Museum from March 2 – July 15, 2018.
