World Famous David Bowie Exhibit Coming To Brooklyn Museum

PROSPECT HEIGHTS, BROOKLYN — A world famous art exhibit about the life of rocker David Bowie is going to make the last stop of its global tour at the Brooklyn Museum.

"David Bowie is" features hundreds of objects collected throughout his life, all the way up to his death last year. The exhibit will be on display in Brooklyn from March 2 to July 15, 2018 and feature "never-before-seen objects and work exclusive to the Brooklyn Museum presentation," according to a museum announcement.

The exhibit was curated by Victoria Broackes and Geoffrey Marsh from the Department of Theatre and Performance at the V&A in London, where it premiered in March of 2013. It's currently on display at the Museu del Disseny de Barcelona in Spain.

"Since David Bowie is left the V&A, London in August 2013, nearly 1.8 million visitors have flocked to see the exhibition as it has travelled around the world, a testament to Bowie's depth, breadth and worldwide reach and the public's interest in the processes of creation behind such a uniquely influential performer," Broackes, the curator at V&A, said in a statement.

"Bowie himself left England in 1974 to eventually settle in America, so we could not be more delighted that the final leg of the tour brings the show back to New York, where Bowie made his home."

The exhibit features a number of his personal items, including notebooks, diaries, sketches and more. A number of Bowie's costumes, including the Ziggy Stardust bodysuits, will also be on display.

"David Bowie is" will be a ticketed exhibit, and tickets will be available to members starting on November 8, 2017. Standard tickets will cost $20 for adults, $12 for Seniors and students ages 13 and up and $6 for children ages four to 12 on weekdays; and $25 for adults, $16 for seniors and students ages 13 and up, $10 for children ages four to 12 on weekends.

"With mainstream appeal and yet an avant-garde heart, David Bowie was one of the most original artists of our times," Matthew Yokobosky, Director of Exhibition Design at the Brooklyn Museum, said in a statement.

"He challenged the status quo and continually took us on new musical explorations with his forward-thinking and groundbreaking presentations. David Bowie continues to be the apex for many artists in wide-ranging disciplines."
