David Bowie’s V&A Archive to Head on Tour Across the UK

The V&A will take highlights from the David Bowie Archive on a national tour, expanding public access to one of the most significant collections related to the artist’s life and work. The archive, now housed permanently at the David Bowie Centre at V&A East Storehouse, was acquired with support from Warner Music Group and the Blavatnik Family Foundation. More than 100 objects will travel to venues in Dundee, Blackpool, County Durham, Hull, and Bristol between 2026 and 2028, marking the first opportunity to see these materials outside London on this scale. The touring exhibition will include costumes, instruments, photography, and previously unseen items that illuminate Bowie’s creative process across music, performance, film, television, and visual identity. Organized in thematic sections, David Bowie: On Tour reflects the V&A’s commitment to sharing national collections with audiences across the UK. Read the article here.
