The Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A) is launching a major touring exhibition, David Bowie: On Tour, featuring 100 items from the iconic musician’s archive.
The exhibition will commence at V&A Dundee from November 2026 to February 2027, before travelling to other UK venues including Blackpool, County Durham, Hull and Bristol.
Highlights include original Ziggy Stardust costumes by Freddie Burretti and Kansai Yamamoto, sketches from the accompanying tour and an acoustic guitar used during that period.
Other notable artefacts on display will be Bowie’s keys from his Berlin apartment, concept art for the Low album, and the Natasha Korniloff-designed costume from the “Ashes To Ashes” music video.
Many of the items have never been seen by the public before, offering an in-depth look into Bowie’s personal and creative life, following the opening of the dedicated David Bowie Centre at the V&A Storehouse.
