Marilyn Monroe 100: A Grand Exhibition for the Icon's Centenary

Prague's Czech Gallery of Contemporary Art on Betlémské náměstí presents a large-scale exhibition marking the 100th anniversary of Marilyn Monroe's birth. Spread across 600 m² on two floors, the show brings together more than 270 photographs by 31 renowned photographers — from intimate shots by Sam Shaw and André de Dienes to iconic images by Bert Stern, Richard Avedon, Eve Arnold and Milton Greene. The photographs reveal not only the evolution of the star's image, but also the vulnerability and inner tension hidden behind the Hollywood myth.

The exhibition is complemented by works from pop-art icons such as Andy Warhol, Romero Britto, Mr. Brainwash and others, alongside pieces by Czech artists including Pasta Oner and Štěpán Mareš. A dedicated section features the actress's personal belongings, offering an intimate glimpse into her private life. The project will appeal to anyone interested in film history, photography and pop culture, inviting visitors to see Marilyn as an enduring symbol of femininity, fame and fragility.
