Give yourself plenty of time in this museum. You won't pick up much just walking through.

Extremely enjoyable. The only problem I had is that the Museum was offering a special of $10 for the Exhibit - I could have saved myself $2 buying direct from them. But I support Goldstar and have always had good service from them and will always support them. Thank you.Written on Jul 06 2009

This was a fantastic representation of the King of Pop's classic sequined military jackets and gloves! A once in a lifetime opportunity to see them so up close as CNN was there taping for the Larry King interview last night! What an honor! I loved it!Written on Jul 02 2009

Description
In celebration of the life and work of Michael Jackson, The Grammy Museum is sharing a collection of Jackson's most iconic wardrobe pieces (including the suit he wore on the cover of Thriller). These pieces will be exhibited on the Museum's third floor alongside video of some of Jackson's most exciting Grammy performances. The museum hopes this exhibit will serve as a fitting tribute to one of the most significant entertainers in music history.
For thousands of years, royalty has called attention to itself with extravagant clothing and other finery. Jewels, fine fabrics, and elaborate accessories can complete the transformation of a person into a brightly-shining star that holds its audience spellbound.
As the self-anointed "King of Pop," Michael Jackson has fully embraced this royal tradition. And like his album HIStory, this exhibit gathers together some of his greatest hits -- pieces that are uniquely and unmistakably his.
"The Grammy Museum is excited for this rare chance to share this material with our visitors," said Chief Curator Ken Luftig Viste. "Michael Jackson is undeniably one of the most significant entertainers in pop music history, and the pieces' starpower -- and design -- is striking. Few, if any, have ever before been made available to the public in this way."
Including seven elaborately embellished jackets, two gloves, and more, highlights include jackets worn on the Victory tour, at Jackson's 1984 American Music Awards appearance, and at the dedication of his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. All are elaborately bejeweled, beaded, and detailed -- with one piece weighing nearly fifteen pounds.
"As a 21st Century museum, we will update our exhibit content frequently," said Executive Director Robert Santelli. "Though we've only been open a short time, Michael Jackson: HIStyle allows us to demonstrate our steadfast commitment to putting that goal into practice. Plus, it's an amazing collection."
Working with talented designers, Jackson's crystals, sequins, beads, embroidery, and insignia have combined to catch the eyes of millions, transmitting his dance moves from the stage to the back row, and his starpower across the world.
