'Divas & Icons' Exhibition, House of Hungarian Music Budapest
Opens on 18 May and will run until 15 September 2024. The new temporary exhibition of the House of Music that is entitled Divas & Icons, showcases the extraordinary power and creativity of divas like Rihanna, Björk, Whitney Houston, Janelle Monáe, Tina Turner, Cher, Marilyn Monroe, Maria Callas, Edith Piaf, Ingrid Bergman and many other key performers, through their personal stories and original costumes.

The large-scale exhibition was organized by the world's largest museum of arts and design, the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.

The exhibition offers a complete picture of the diva phenomenon, thus every generation will find something to interest them, from those interested in classic film stars such as Elizabeth Taylor or Marilyn Monroe, to those who were young at the time with Cher, Tina Turner or later Madonna, to those who are fascinated by Rihanna or Billie Eilish.

The exhibition will also set the tone for the coming year of the House of Music, with various related programs and pop-up exhibitions exploring the themes of the divas,  András Batta, Executive Director of the House of Music, stressed.

After Budapest, exhibition travels to several important museums around the world.

The V&A Diva exhibition, which has been sold out since its opening, gives an insight into the history of great divas, from stars of the opera world and silent films to celebrities on the big screen to today's world stars.

Ticket prices: HUF 4,500
