The Jewish Museum in London recently unveiled an exhibit dedicated to the late singer Amy Winehouse .
“Amy Winehouse: A Family Portrait” opened earlier this week and will run until September 15. The exhibit features plenty of the singer’s clothes as well as family photos.
The Jewish Museum in London, writes : “(The exhibit was) co-curated with her brother Alex and sister-in-law Riva. It is an intimate and moving exhibition about a much loved sister. 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.”
Museum chief executive Abigail Morris said that the purpose of the exhibit was to humanize the late singer.
Morris said : “It’s a story that people don’t know about Amy: her family story … You can forget there’s a person behind the hype.”
Winehouse died in 2011 at the age of 27 from alcohol poisoning.
In an interview last week, Winehouse’s brother Alex described what it was like growing up with Amy.
Alex said : “Do you have a sister? Then you know. She was annoying, frustrating, a pain in the bum … But she was also incredibly generous, very caring. She’d do anything for anyone, she really would. She was loyal – as a sister, daughter and friend. She was probably the most loyal friend to people I’ve ever known. She was a really good person. And horrible in other respects.”
