“Diana – A Celebration,” an award winning exhibition directly from Althorp Estate in England, the ancestral home of the Spencer Family, has been on view in the United States at the Western Reserve Historical Society, the Florida International Museum, The Houston Museum of Natural Science, and the Dayton Art Institute.

It will open September 27, 2007 in Sydney, Australia and will be on view through May 6, 2008.

A highlight of this magnificent exhibition is Diana’s fairy tale wedding gown, complete with 25 foot train, diamond tiara, shoes, and parasol. The wedding took place on July 29, 1981 at St. Paul’s Cathedral, filled with hundreds of family, friends, and dignitaries from around the world. Diana was just 20 years old. An estimated 1 billion people around the world watched the wedding on television.

Diana was a fashion trend-setter, and 28 dresses, suits and gowns designed by Versace, Valentine, Chanel, and Azagury are included in the exhibition. The Tiara Gallery features exquisite jewelry, fit for a Princess. Home movies of her childhood, historical artifacts, personal letters, photos and heirlooms will also be on display.

For over 300 years, the women of the Spencer family devoted themselves to charity and community work. Diana carried on this proud family heritage with her work on behalf of several causes. The exhibition includes a look at the many causes Diana worked to advance.

After her tragic death in 1997, condolences poured in from around the world. The exhibit concludes with the musical score and handwritten lyrics of the Elton John/Bernie Taupin composition dedicated to Diana, which was adapted from the song “Candle in the Wind.”

No further US showings of "Diana - A Celebration" are planned at this time.
