Marilyn Monroe exhibition with 250 personal items go on display after 40 years in storage

A brand new Marilyn Monroe exhibition has opened in London with 250 personal items on display after 40 years in storage.

Last year, new venue Arches London Bridge opened with Direct From Graceland: Elvis, putting many of the King of Rock and Roll’s personal items on display in the UK for the first time.

As they return home to Memphis, Tennessee, it’s now the turn of another American icon who died young.

Like Elvis, Marilyn Monroe was often defined by the myth around the character Norma Jeane Mortenson created for her showbiz career.

But behind the glitz and glamour of the blonde bombshell was a real woman of flesh and blood who had many highs and lows before her untimely death from a barbiturate overdose at just 32 in 1962.

Now, a new exhibition has opened displaying many of her personal objects alongside some dress replicas, including the Happy Birthday, Mr President gown.
