Over 100 highlights from the V&A’s David Bowie’s archive on display at The Bowes Museum.
Bringing together 100 highlights from the Victoria and Albert Museum’s (V&A) David Bowie archive – many that have never been on public display before – David Bowie: On Tour will travel to venues across the UK across multiple years.
Across four sections, David Bowie: On Tour takes audiences behind the scenes into Bowie’s creative process, exploring how he created his ever-evolving image, music and screen work. Highlights include legendary costumes, musical instruments + career-spanning photography, plus never-before-seen items including Polaroids for make-up and costume fittings, a Ziggy Stardust-era acoustic guitar, unrealised projects, handwritten lyrics, performance notes and costumes from Bowie’s final albums, The Next Day and ★ (Blackstar).
