Sharjah24 – Reuters: An exhibition celebrating the life of Princess Diana is opening in Las Vegas on Friday (September 2), just days after the 25th anniversary of the royal’s death in a car crash in Paris.
'Princess Diana: A Tribute Exhibition', which has a 10-year residency by the ARIA Resort and Casino, features over 700 original artifacts, including designer evening gowns, letters, and personal items in the 10,000 square foot space.
It also features a replica of the wedding dress worn by Diana, created by Belgian artist Isabelle de Borchgrave. Attendees can walk over the 25 foot long train, which is placed under glass.
David Corelli, the curator and producer of the exhibition, said that the room inspired them to offer guests packages to get married in the wedding area of the exhibit.
Diana’s story is told through fashion, charity work and correspondence.
Parts of the proceeds for the exhibition will be going to charity.
The exhibition will evolve. Corelli said they have numerous other artifacts that they will rotate over the coming years.
