A small but interesting show. It could have done with more actual artefacts that had belonged to Marilyn Monroe herself. However what was there was well presented in the space.

Very interesting exhibition about Marilyn Monroe’s life. I would be a bit disappointed if I had actually paid $50 per ticket, as the exhibit was a little sparse.
