Denver has been announced as the exclusive US venue for 'DIVA,' a major fashion and iconography exhibition organized by the Victoria and Albert Museum, London. The show will run from October 4, 2026, to January 31, 2027, at the Denver Art Museum’s Hamilton Building, featuring over 200 objects and more than 50 costumes worn by legendary performers including Maria Callas, Cher, Lady Gaga, Rihanna, RuPaul, Prince, Tina Turner, and Marilyn Monroe.
The exhibition matters because it explores how iconic performers have used fashion and stage presence to demand visibility and drive social change, linking historical operatic divas with contemporary pop culture figures. As the only US stop for this globally anticipated show, it positions the Denver Art Museum as a key venue for major international exhibitions and offers audiences a rare opportunity to see iconic costumes and objects that celebrate the radical power and creativity of these artists.
