The World's Largest Collection of Original Marilyn Monroe Memorabilia

06 Sep 2011

August 5th 2012 will mark the 50th Anniversary of Marilyn Monroe's death. At remarkable Ripley's Believe it or Not! London, fans can pay homage to the memory of this beautiful and iconic movie star by marveling at over forty of her original belongings and personal effects, providing a poignant insight into her fascinating life.

Ripley's London is home to the biggest collection of original Marilyn Monroe memorabilia in the world, including a lock of the actress's hair, a daring spotted bikini and the stockings she wore on her wedding night to Joe Di Maggio.  Visitors can also view her personal make-up case - complete with beauty products and a hand-knitted sweater from a 1962 photo shoot - sadly the last one she ever participated in.
 

Other unusual celebrity exhibits include a sculpture of the Beatles made entirely out of chewing gum, portaits of rockers Jimi Hendrix and Gene Simmons drawn in cow dung and even a lock of hair from the King of Rock 'n' Roll himself, Elvis. 

Ripley's Believe it or Not! London is one of the capital's most exciting attractions, with more than 700 amazing artefacts on display over five floors, celebrating the weird wonderful and bizarre in all its forms.  With everything you can imagine (and plenty more you can't!), this is most definitely a family day out with a difference. This fantastic attraction is open seven days a week, 365 days a year from 10am to midnight.
 

Why not take a look at our spellbinding 4 day Wonders & Wizardry London City Break - a fabulous treat for all the family including a visit to Ripley's Believe it or Not!, a Harry Potter London Walk, Madame Tussauds & the Marvel 4D Experience, theatre tickets to see the Wizard of Oz and all the fun of a unique amphibious tour of London's landmarks by road and river on a London Ducktour.
