A touring exhibition from the Victoria and Albert Museum in London called Diva opens at the Auckland Museum this Saturday.
It looks at the history of Divas, from nineteenth century opera singers and goddesses of stage and film to contemporary global superstars.
The exhibition includes over 280 objects from the V&A's world class collection of decorative arts, including fashion, costume, music, film, photography, posters and more, that explore amazing stories of divas - Maria Callas, Tina Turner, Rhianna, Elton John, and Dame Kiri Te Kanawa.
Jane Groufsky is curator of social history at Auckland Museum and joins Mark Leishman.
