One of the many things I love about London is the amazing museums. My latest visit was to the Victoria & Albert museum, which not only houses brilliant permanent collections, but also plays host to some spectacular exhibitions. But this particular one was seriously something else! It's called David Bowie is. For a couple of hours, you are completely immersed in everything that was (and still is) Bowie. From archival footage, photographs, costumes, posters, and paintings, and even a tissue with Bowie's makeup. It's ALL right there in front of you. But the best part? The audio. When you enter, you're handed some headphones connected to a little box with only a couple of buttons, and told to press play to listen. This, quite genius really, is a soundtrack to the exhibition. As you walk past an installation, a specially selected accompanying audio comes streaming through. For an obsessed Bowie fan like myself, this was absolute heaven. I spend the next couple of hours getting high on Bowie quite literally. It all culminates in the final room with floor to (sky high) ceiling screens showing live footage from the hundreds of shows during his career. I could have happily stayed there craning my neck ALL DAY! Thanks you DB <3
