'David Bowie Is' Reaches Its Final Destination, the Brooklyn Museum

"David Bowie Is" is a museum exhibition that thinks it’s a rock concert.  And it has toured the world like a rock star. 

Beginning in London’s Victoria & Albert Museum in 2012, it has “played” to rave reviews and long lines in 11 museums on five continents for the past five years.

Bowie himself had hoped the exhibit would start in London, where he was born, and end in New York, where he lived and, in 2016, died. 

Now, "David Bowie Is" arrives at the Brooklyn Museum for the final stop on its world tour. 

WNYC’s John Schaefer spoke to the curators of the both the original London exhibition and this newly-expanded New York edition.
