14 DAY TRIAL // One of the greatest voices of our times, Amy Winehouse died of alcohol poisoning in her London home in the summer of 2011. Her family has now put together a new exhibition at the Jewish Museum in London in her memory.
The Los Angeles Times writes that, initially, the family only agreed to donating a few of Amy’s belongings to the museum but, in a very short while, they realized they had enough of them to make an entire show.
It will hopefully offer fans an insight into who the tormented Amy was as a person, show them the real Amy – as opposed to the one they got to know through the media, which would always focus on her drug and alcohol problems.
“It's a story that people don't know about Amy: her family story,” museum chief executive Abigail Morris says.
“You can forget there's a person behind the hype,” Morris adds.
With “Amy Winehouse: A Family Portrait,” the world won’t forget anymore. The show opened this Wednesday and will run through September 15.
