The Design Museum in London will host an exhibition of Amy Winehouse’s personal belongings. The retrospective will show the singer as a person and a musician. The exhibition will not focus on the tragic death of a celebrity from a drug overdose, like many other installations and films.
“It felt like something was left unsaid about Amy’s story and about her as a serious musician.The way she was portrayed in the media really diminished her legacy,” says exhibition curator Priya Khanchandani.
The installation was titled “Amy Winehouse: Beyond the Frame.” The museum will display the singer’s personal belongings: the first electric guitar, notebooks, elements of the interior of her house, and more.
A separate part of the exhibition will be devoted to the unique style of Amy Winehouse. Visitors will be able to see a red Moschino bag in the shape of a heart and a yellow dress from the British brand Preen, which the celebrity wore to the Brit Awards 2007.
