The daughter of Elvis and Priscilla Presley died last January and her life and legacy is being remembered in a new exhibit (the New York Post reports)
The “Lisa Marie: Growing Up Presley” event is being put on display and opened on Feb. 1 at the Graceland mansion in Memphis, Tenn.
“Lisa was born in Memphis and had always called Graceland home. I remember her first seeing a quote from her dad from the original exhibit that said she was the greatest thing that had ever happened to him, and her reaction will forever be etched into my brain,” Joel Weinshanker, managing partner and majority owner of Elvis Presley Enterprises, said in a statement. “I know y’all will enjoy this amazing, expanded exhibition as much as she did.”
The exhibition showcases many items that belonged to Lisa Marie, as well as memorabilia, photos, clothes, childhood objects, magazine covers and more.
Other momentos include her old school yearbooks, musical instruments she used, wallets from the 1980s and 45 of her outfits that she wore throughout her life.
One look presented is the dress she donned at the 2023 Golden Globe Awards — two days before her death.
Angie Marchese, who is the vice president of archives and exhibits at Elvis Presley Enterprises, spoke about the display to Commercial Appeal recently.
“She kept everything,” Marchese explained. “It’s almost a family thing. Elvis kept everything, so she kept everything.”
“You have these elegant dresses by major labels and fashion designers, like Versace, but you also the casual things she would buy at Target,” she added.
