Marking the centenary of Monroe's 1926 birth, this Academy Museum exhibition celebrates the actress as a visionary actor and image-maker who shaped her persona within the classical Hollywood studio system. Hundreds of original objects - posters, portraits, photographs, production documents, letters, and rarely seen personal materials - join screen-worn costumes, including Travilla's famous pink dress from Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. On view May 31, 2026-February 28, 2027.
