Iconic David Bowie archive to go on UK tour in new exhibition

  • The Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A) is launching a major touring exhibition, David Bowie : On Tour, featuring 100 items from the iconic musician's archive.
  • The exhibition will commence at V&A Dundee from November 2026 to February 2027, before travelling to other UK venues including Blackpool, County Durham, Hull and Bristol.
  • Highlights include original Ziggy Stardust costumes by Freddie Burretti and Kansai Yamamoto, sketches from the accompanying tour and an acoustic guitar used during that period.
  • Other notable artefacts on display will be Bowie’s keys from his Berlin apartment, concept art for the Low album, and the Natasha Korniloff-designed costume from the "Ashes To Ashes" music video.
  • Many of the items have never been seen by the public before, offering an in-depth look into Bowie's personal and creative life, following the opening of the dedicated David Bowie Centre at the V&A Storehouse.
