DIVA at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, UK
June 24, 2023 – April 7, 2024
DIVA will celebrate the power and creativity of iconic performers exploring and redefining the role of “diva” and how this has been subverted or embraced over time across opera, stage, popular music, and film. In recent years attendance spikes at museums indicate the widespread appeal of fashion-related exhibitions. Fashion that is never going out of style is presented at current and upcoming museum exhibitions around the world into 2024. Fascinating and interesting for those of us who love theater and fashions.
