Starting Saturday, fans and researchers can access approximately 90,000 artifacts by appointment at the David Bowie Centre at V&A East Storehouse.

Bowie, often referred to as the “chameleon” of rock music for his constant reinvention, left behind an extensive legacy that spans five decades across music, fashion, drama, and art.

He passed away from cancer in 2016 at the age of 69, just two days after the release of his final album, “Blackstar.”

The archive includes 70,000 photographs, 400 costumes, 150 musical instruments, and personal notebooks.

A special display featuring 200 items highlights Bowie’s creative journey and his lasting impact on popular culture. Lead curator Madeleine Haddon described Bowie as a “true polymath,” noting the archive’s focus on his evolution as a multi-dimensional artist.

Among the items are ideas scrawled on Post-it notes found in Bowie’s New York office after his death, related to a potential musical titled “The Spectator,” set in the 18th century.

The concept draws inspiration from historical figures such as painter William Hogarth and notorious thief Jack Sheppard.

Harriet Reed, curator of contemporary performance at the V&A museum, emphasized the archive’s insight into Bowie’s artistic process and humanity.

“It’s a fascinating look at how Bowie worked as an artist, but also as a human being. He can be used as an inspiration to anyone,” she stated.
