Marilyn Monroe: The Exhibit June 27, 2012

The Hollywood Museum celebrates Marilyn Monroe’s birthday with “MARILYN MONROE: THE EXHIBIT - An Intimate Look At The Legend,” the world’s largest exhibit of authentic memorabilia honoring the fabled actress’ life. Exhibit continues through September 2nd.

Come see the million-dollar dress Monroe wore on her honeymoon with Joe DiMaggio and made famous when she entertained the troops for USO shows in Korea; costumes and accessories from Some Like It Hot, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, The Prince and The Show Girl; Niagara and the legendary “red velvet” nude photographs shot by Tom Kelly. Witness never before seen photos by world-renowned photographer George Barris, who shot the last pictures of Monroe while collaborating on a book at the time of her death 50 years ago. In addition, view the special costume exhibit featuring NBC’s “Smash.”

See the prescription bottle and the Decodron vial found next to her bed the night she passed away; a vast photograph collection of her childhood, family, school and early modeling career when she was still Norma Jeane Baker, and much more!
