LOS ANGELES (AFP) - An exhibit in honour of late pop icon Whitney Houston will open in Los Angeles next month, half a year after her lifeless body was discovered in a hotel bathtub.
The exhibit, titled Whitney! and organised in conjunction with the singer's family, will open at the Grammy Museum on August 15.
"Whitney! will provide an in-depth look at all aspects of Houston's creative life," the museum, located in downtown Los Angeles, said in a statement.
Items to be displayed include rare photos and footage of the Grammy-winning star, stage costumes, albums and career scrapbooks from her early career, as well as concert posters, tour books and fan memorabilia.
