Du 1er juin 2012 au 2 septembre 2012, une exposition "Marilyn Monroe: The Exhibit - An Intimate Look at the Legend"  se tient au Hollywood Museum, à Hollywood, en Californie, aux USA.

Contenu de l'expo:

Des vêtements:   
 >   Marilyn Monroe’s million-dollar honeymoon dress, worn on her honeymoon for her marriage to Joe DiMaggio.  This was Marilyn’s favorite gown designed by Ceil Chapman, hand beaded in Marilyn’s signature style. Marilyn wore this gown on numerous occasions including a USO tour to entertain 10,000 troops in Korea in 1954.
 >   Marilyn’s famous cream colored, beaded costume worn in the 1957 film The Prince and the Show Girl.
 >   Personal wardrobe items including the lime green Pucci blouse Marilyn Monroe wore in the last ever photos of her taken alive, together with Marilyn’s favorite furs and accessories.

Des photographies:     
 >   Never before seen photographs of Marilyn Monroe taken by her close personal friend George Barris.
 >   The famous “Red Velvet” photographs by photographer Tom Kelly. Shot in 1949, Marilyn was still a struggling actress, delinquent in her monthly car rental payments and on the brink of having her car repossessed. To earn quick money, Marilyn agreed to pose at a typical “day rate” for what would become this legendary photo shoot.

 >   Original Magazine and newspaper articles conveying Monroe’s popularity and the kinds of coverage accorded both her career and personal life.

ceci dit je pense que l'expo qui a lieu à Florence semble "mieux" dans le sens où il y a beaucoup plus de vêtements et chaussures exposées. Pour ceux qui ont la chance d'aller en Italie cet été en vacances, un petit détour par Florence vaudra le coup.
