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. Exhibit continues through September 2nd.

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!
