The globally acclaimed "DIVA" exhibition is making its final and grandest stop in Tokyo! Opening on March 24, 2027, at The National Art Center, Tokyo, this fashion-and-music spectacle marks the spectacular finale of its world tour.
Prepare to be mesmerized by film and music awards couture including Whitney Houston’s legendary 1994 Grammy Awards dress. Tracing a 200-year history of the world's most influential performers, the exhibition showcases over 100 icons, from Marilyn Monroe to Lady Gaga, who used their creativity to spark global change.
Highlight: The Japan edition features an exclusive section dedicated to Akihiro Miwa, a legendary artist and true trailblazer who courageously owned their LGBTQ+ identity in a heavily conservative Japanese society.
