Overview
Norma Jeane Mortenson, better known as Marilyn Monroe, helped shape popular culture in a way that few actors ever have. Now, a brand new exhibition at the Bendigo Art Gallery will examine her life and legacy as one of Hollywood's biggest stars.
With more than 20 original film costumes, as well as movie posters, studio portraits, costume test photographs and items from her personal wardrobe, this comprehensive exhibition is essential for classic film lovers, or anyone captivated by the concept of celebrity. The exhibition will also feature Seward Johnson's famous eight metre high sculpture of Monroe, appearing for the first time outside of the United States.
