From July 3 to Sept 15, Camden Town’s Jewish Museum is staging an original exhibition about Amy Winehouse, co-curated with her brother Alex and sister-in-law Riva. “It is an intimate and moving show about a much loved sister,” they say.

The family have given the Jewish Museum unprecedented access to Amy’s personal belongings that celebrate her passion for music, fashion, suduko, Snoopy, London and her family.

The exhibition will show many unseen photographs of Amy’s family life – Friday night dinners, Alex’s Barmitzvah and vintage photographs of their beloved grandmother Cynthia. There will also be possessions from her Camden Square home, such as a vintage bar.

It’s set to be open late night on Thursdays, until 9pm, perfect to pop to after work – before a drink in honour, perhaps, at the Hawley Arms. 129 Albert Street, Closed Saturdays.

  1. So now they start asking for 10k to put it on?

    Why so much money? I’m sure that other events (e.g. the Alma Street Fair) don’t cost anything like that.

  2. I can rememebr one in Talacre in 1973.

    They currently have £145 of the £10,000. Surely it would be better to have had most of the funding in place a lot sooner. To put on a disastrous event would do more harm than good. It would be better to start planning for 2014 and avoid a fiasco in 2013.
