Diana, A Celebration enables visitors to share in the milestones of her many roles: as a youngster, schoolgirl and athlete; as the shy kindergarten teacher who captured the hearts of the world; as the young, ravishing royal bride; as an icon of fashion and style; as the devoted mother, sister and daughter; and as the tireless charity advocate and spokeswoman.

This 10,000 square-foot exhibition tells the story of Diana through nine galleries: Tiara; The Spencer Women; Childhood; Engagement; Royal Wedding; Charity; Tribute; Style; and Condolence. The centerpiece is the glorious, show-stopping Royal Wedding gallery, featuring Diana’s resplendent gown from her 1981 marriage to Prince Charles, along with her diamond tiara, veil, 25-foot-long train, shoes, parasol and bridesmaid’s dress.




Other major highlights of the exhibition include:

28 dresses, suits and evening gowns by such noted designers as Versace, Azagury, Valentino, and Chanel
Two diamond tiaras and other priceless family jewels
The original hand-edited text of Charles Spencer’s moving tribute to his sister that he delivered at Diana’s funeral in Westminster Abbey
The musical score and handwritten lyrics of the Elton John/Bernie Taupin composition dedicated to Diana and adapted from Candle in the Wind
Home movies, childhood photographs and personal correspondence
17th and 18th century paintings from Diana’s ancestral home, Althorp Estate


One entire section of the exhibition is devoted to Diana’s energetic, multi-faceted public life and her involvement in myriad charities and causes, including pioneering efforts for those afflicted by AIDS, the care of the homeless, and the tragic consequences of the unregulated use of land mines. A three-screen video presentation highlights the hundreds of associations that continue to benefit from her patronage and energetic dedication. The outpouring of grief at her untimely death is also addressed in a display of books of condolence and a space for reflection and remembrance.

The exhibition has toured Toronto, Fort Lauderdale, St. Petersburg, Houston and Dayton. At Althorp, it has generated approximately $2 million for charities supported by the Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Fund.
