Seven years after David Bowie's death, the British icon's influence still lights up pop culture.
After a documentary, or even the purchase of his musical catalog, a museum dedicated to his life will see the light of day in London, the birthplace of the British singer.
It is due to open in 2025.
His
Ziggy Stardust
costumes , the musical instruments used for
Space Oddity
, thousands of letters, manuscripts of songs like
Heroes
and never-before-seen projects... All the archives of David Bowie's flamboyant life will rest within the walls of a new museum that will see the light of day in London, his hometown, in the new XXL art center housed by the highly renowned Victoria and Albert Museum.
This new museum space is under construction, on the site of the 2012 Olympics in the east of the British capital, and is due to open to the public in 2025.
Diving into the intimacy of Bowie
The museum promises a dive into the intimacy of the iconic singer, with memorabilia never shown to the public.
A precious will of 80,000 pieces in total entrusted by the heirs of David Bowie.

Seven years after his death, this music legend continues to illuminate pop culture with this museum, but also, more recently, a documentary, new releases and a musical catalog bought by Warner Music.
