New Aretha Franklin Exhibit Is Opening At Detroit Museum
The Charles H. Wright Museum in Detroit, Michigan will hold “Think: A Tribute to the Queen of Soul,” in honor of the late Aretha Franklin. The exhibit honors her life and legacy.
“This is an opportunity for people to come back and engage, reminisce and reflect,” Wright museum board member Kelly Major Green told the Detroit Free Press. “It’s the beginning of a much longer expression of who Aretha is.”
Aretha’s estate fully-approved the exhibit, which features wardrobe, shoes, video displays and photos from throughout Aretha’s career, including a copy of the first-ever recording she released, a 1956 vinyl of “Never Grow Old” by “Aretha Franklin, Daughter of Rev. C.L. Franklin.”
Over the exhibit’s four-month tenure at the museum, curators will rotate items in and out of display to “reflect the same ever-changing dynamics that marked the singer’s own life,” the Detroit Free Press writes.
The exhibit runs till January 21, 2019.
