A major traveling exhibition featuring items from the extensive archive of the late David Bowie at the V&A Museum is set to captivate fans across the United Kingdom.

The exhibition, titled “David Bowie: On Tour,” will feature many works that have never been publicly displayed and will initially be hosted at the V&A; Dundee, from November through February 2027.

is a historic national collaboration for the V&A, bringing highlights from David Bowie’s exceptional archive to audiences across the United Kingdom for the first time,” said V&A Director Sir Tristram Hunt.

The memorabilia includes a clapperboard used in the film “The Man Who Fell to Earth” and his first instrument, a Grafton Alto saxophone that his father bought for him in 1961.

Following its debut in Dundee, the two-year exhibition will travel to Blackpool, County Durham, Hull, and Bristol.

“By partnering with our colleagues at museums and venues across the country, we are bringing David Bowie’s story to the places connected to his life and legacy, ensuring that people across the country can experience these remarkable artifacts where they live and be inspired by his enduring creativity.”
