This year marks the 50th anniversary of the death of Marilyn Monroe, so if you missed the exhibit at the Getty Images Gallery in London, you can still sneak a peek at some of the items she owned. This year marks the 50th anniversary of the death of Marilyn Monroe, so if you missed the exhibit at the Getty Images Gallery in London, you can still sneak a peek at some of the items she owned.
At Ripley's Believe it or Not, located at London's bustling Piccadilly Circus, the Monroe exhibit includes her famous clothing, dresses, shoes and make-up case (pictured).
A framed copy of an original newspaper from the morning after news of her death broke, is also featured.
The attraction was named after Robert Leroy Ripley, who dedicated his life to travel and to documenting the most unbelievable things he came across. Monroe's collection is just one of the 700 exhibits across five floors.
As part of its new bi-weekly summer movie nights series, the XVA Gallery in DIFC will be hosting the 1950's comedy classic Some Like it Hot starring Marilyn Monroe and Jack Lemmon, with popcorn and cherry and vanilla sodas, at 7pm on Tuesday night. Free entrance.
