Marilyn Monroe: The Exhibit June 1, 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. Due to popular demand, the exhibit is now extended through Sunday, September 22, 2012.

Come see the million-dollar dress Monroe wore on her honeymoon with Joe Di Maggio and made famous when she entertained the troops for USO shows in Korea; costumes and accessories from in 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.

See the prescription bottle and the Decodron vile 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 Jean Baker, and much more!
