Brooklyn will mark the final stop for the traveling David Bowie museum exhibition. The collection, called David Bowie Is, shared a retrospective look at the legend’s career through photos, memorabilia and personal items. The exhibit is currently in London. “Since David Bowie Is left the V&A, London in August 2013, nearly 1.8 million visitors have flocked to see the exhibition as it has travelled around the world,” curator Victoria Broackes said in a statement. She went on to call the exhibit “a testament to Bowie’s depth, breadth and worldwide reach.” Broackes noted that the rocker moved away from England in 1974, eventually settling in America, which means the last stop on the tour “brings the show back to New York, where Bowie made his home.” Meanwhile, Matthew Yokobosky, Director of Exhibition Design, Brooklyn Museum, said of Bowie: “With mainstream appeal and yet an avant-garde heart, David Bowie was one of the most original artists of our times. He challenged the status quo and continually took us on new musical explorations with his forward-thinking and groundbreaking presentations. David Bowie continues to be the apex for many artists in wide-ranging disciplines.” Copyright(c) 2017 RTTNews.com. All Rights ReservedLess «
