I came here about a month ago for the David Bowie exhibit. It was amazing. Of course it's too late…read moreto pass this tidbit along to help someone, but I purchased my tickets ahead of time online. I really suggest doing that, as the line when I came out was incredibly long. So in case anyone reading this who's planning to visit the exhibit in another city, plan ahead.
It was sooo crowded. Of course it was to be expected; it was August in Berlin and anyone who knows anything about Bowie wanted to see it. The only downside to this is sometimes it took ages to be able to see something because of the people crowding around something. Another bummer was not being able to take any photographs, but most of this stuff is online anyway (e.g. with the costumes, you can just look at the man himself online wearing it) so it wasn't a huge deal.
But it was such an amazing experience to be able to see this stuff up close. Reading his handwritten lyrics and other tidbits Bowie wrote along the way to stardom was such an experience. The tour went in chronological order, enabling you to see his childhood and even having memorabilia from this period. It had everything and was an in-depth look at his entire life up to now, and I really recommend seeing it if it goes to a city near you.
