Exhibition Information: Marilyn: The Woman Behind the Icon

This exhibition brings together a collection of Marilyn Monroe’s famous paintings, films, posters, clothing, and accessories, satisfying your curiosity and aesthetic needs!

The exhibition at Sydney Town Hall showcases over 200 items related to the personal life and career of this actress. These items have been carefully curated from the collection of 1,500 Marilyn Monroe memorabilia, which is the largest in the world and owned by Ted Stampfer. This exclusive exhibition in Australia presents authentic artifacts, including personal clothing, accessories, cosmetics, film props, personal letters, photographs with negatives, and even items from her final home.

The exhibition presents significant stages in Marilyn Monroe’s life in chronological order, allowing visitors to delve into her unknown personal world. Customers can closely examine special pieces to gain a deeper understanding of the duality of this extraordinary woman. While she portrayed the “blonde bombshell” on screen, off-screen she rebelled against the male-dominated film industry. Marilyn’s bravery and liberation helped her take control of her career, negotiate better contract terms as a minor star, and even establish her own film production company.

The highlight of this exhibition, of course, is the precious Marilyn Monroe collection! From movie posters and memorabilia to little-known photographs, everything is on display! Just like these showcased garments worn by Marilyn, through these treasures hidden in time, we can gain a deeper understanding of the enigmatic Marilyn Monroe.
