London exhibition
The V&A Diva exhibition, organised by the Victoria and Albert Museum, will open in London in April 2024. This unique exhibition will cover the period from the 19th century to the present day.
We will look at the most famous divas of history through their own eras. The two-part exhibition focuses on the historical context but also presents modern divas.
The exhibition spans several centuries, showing some of the world’s most iconic divas, actors and singers include Marilyn Monroe, Edith Piaf, Björck, Adele, Tina Turner, Whitney Houston, Cherr and Madonna. Today’s stars include Lady Gaga, P!nk, Rihanna and Billie Eilish.
Around the world, from Budapest
The exhibition will be shown first in London and then travel around the world. The first stop will be Budapest. Objects, costumes and costumes that have become iconic over the years have been borrowed from all over the globe.
Special pieces such as the costume worn by Ingrid Bergman when she portrayed Joan of Arc in the film Saint Joan of Arc. But you can also see the costume worn by Maria Callas in Norma from 1952.
