On 13 September 2025, a permanent museum dedicated to David Bowie which will be called David Bowie Center and will be placed in a new space of the Victoria and Albert Museum, the museum that in 2013 hosted the exhibition on the musician who passed away on 10 January 2016 ‘David is’.

The exhibition will be ‘Sound and Vision’, as reported by ANSA, it will propose Bowie’s musical world and objects seen up close. There are over ninety thousand elements chosen to retrace the creative process of David Bowie and will be divided into three areas. There are objects, photos, personal letters, musical instruments and handwritten song lyrics, some even with the ‘cut up’ method that the artist had learned from the writer William Burroughs. Among the most spectacular pieces are undoubtedly the costumes that have punctuated the career and many transformations of the London artist.

“David Bowie was one of the greatest musicians and performers of all time. The V&A is thrilled to become custodian of his incredible archive and to be able to open it to the public,” he said Tristram Huntdirector of the London museum -. Bowie’s radical innovations across music, theatre, film and fashion continue to influence design and visual culture and inspire creatives from Lady Gaga to Tilda Swinton and Raf Simons.”

The acquisition and creation of the David Bowie Center was made possible thanks to the David Bowie Estate with the support of the Warner Music Group and a donation from the Blavatnik Family Foundation, the foundation founded by the Ukrainian entrepreneur Leonid Blavatnik. The David Bowie center will be located in the V&A East Storehouse, a new space of the London museum which will open next March in East London.
