Museum becomes home to Bowie collection

The British Victoria and Albert Museum acquired 80,000 items that it’s collectively calling the David Bowie archives, which the museum will make public. Most of what there is to say can be found in the press release, a link to which is here.

I was wondering whether this will essentially turn into a permanent home for the David Bowie Is exhibit that traveled around the world a few years back. I saw it in Toronto and Brooklyn and it was a fantastic exhibit. If you read all the way to the end, the press releases references David Bowie Is, so I get the sense that the answer is, yes. Same old thing, in brand new drag comes sweeping into view. But in this case, that’s a good thing.
