From the iconic pink Material Girl dress to the wedding gown from Evita - London’s Truman Brewery will come alive with an exhibition of the world’s largest private collection of Madonna’s film and stage costumes and artefacts.
Pop pioneer, style icon, sex symbol and movie star - the month-long celebration will tell the story of Madonna’s career, spanning 3 decades - unearthing a treasure trove of over 300 film and stage worn costumes and artefacts on public view for the first time, as a single collection.
A stunning array of clothing, photographs, film props, costumes, concert outfits and personal items, will be showcased in an exhibition, enhanced by multi-media displays and installations. Bringing together timeless pieces such as the pink ‘Material Girl’ dress, black and gold ‘Open Your Heart’ bustier‘, ‘Like a Virgin’ tour wedding gown and a collection of over 30 dresses worn in the hit film Evita - the exhibition will represent the major performances, concerts and films that made Madonna Louise Ciccone a star.
From her breakthrough 1983 hit ‘Holiday’ to the present, Madonna remains one of the most influential and revered world music icons - embarking upon a huge world tour just a week after her 50th birthday.
