The exhibition comprises of more than 300 objects from Bowie's personal archive and shows the life and career of the 66-year-old singer, musician and actor. Among them are handwritten lyrics, original costumes, photos and album designs. Museum director Andreas Blühm is "happy and proud" that he can get 'Bowie' to the Netherlands. "The exhibition appeals to the imagination of many, not only the fans of David Bowie. The interface between fashion, design and contemporary art fits perfect to our museum."
