Michael Jackson: A Musical Legacy Special New Exhibit at The Grammy Museum
On Oct. 27, 2009 The GRAMMY Museum unveiled its newest special exhibit, Michael Jackson: A Musical Legacy. Residing on the Museum's fourth floor, the exhibit serves as a follow-up to the earlier Michael Jackson: HIStyle exhibit, which opened in February 2009, and the temporary memorial display, erected just after the King of Pop's passing.
"The overwhelming response to our earlier exhibits speaks to Jackson's unparalleled place in music history and the public's deep connection to his music," said Executive Director Robert Santelli. "We're excited to share even more of Jackson's life and legacy with his fans and we hope it serves as a fitting tribute to one of the most significant entertainers in music history."
Including Jackson's trademark fedora and gloves, six elaborately embellished jackets, original lyrics, a Jackson 5 stage costume, and more, the exhibit will include additional artifacts never before exhibited in a museum. Across eight video monitors, visitors will also enjoy footage of Jackson's appearances on the annual GRAMMY® Awards, as well as never-before-seen video of some of Jackson's famous friends sharing their memories of him.
Perhaps the most exciting element, the exhibit will feature a new interactive experience which will allow visitors to dance on a floor of light-up tiles, mimicking Jackson's own moves in the "Billie Jean" music video. Michael Jackson: A Musical Legacy will remain on display through summer 2010.
Santelli and The GRAMMY Museum also curated Michael Jackson: The Official Exhibition, the Arts and Exhibitions International exhibit opening at The O2 bubble in London today.
The GRAMMY Museum is located at 800 West Olympic Boulevard, Suite A245, Los Angeles, CA 90015. With an entrance off of Figueroa Street, the Museum resides within the L.A. LIVE campus, at the intersection of Olympic Boulevard and Figueroa Street in downtown Los Angeles.

Re: Michael Jackson: A Musical Legacy Special New Exhibit at The Grammy Museum
HI MJ FANS WORLDWIDE,
First, please know that you are NOT ALONE in your GRIEF AND PAIN in losing our BELOVED Michael. I miss him alot too and he's always on my mind and heart EVERYDAY! MJ's Untimely Death has had a HUGE IMPACT on my LIFE. WE, MJ FANS WORLDWIDE, are STILL in DEEP PAIN, SORROW AND GRIEF since MJ's Tragic and Untimely Death!!
**
Second, I've come to see and understand more thru time, since Michael's passing, that WE FANS LOVED MICHAEL, MICHAEL LOVED US MORE, BUT GOD LOVED MICHAEL MOST!! I believe that ONLY GOD knows why he called our BELOVED Michael home to HEAVEN in which to us Michael was GONE WAY TOOO SOON TO HEAVEN. BUT, I know that MJ went to GOD's LOVING and WAITING ARMS!! I truly BELIEVE that Michael FULFILLED GOD's PLAN FOR HIS LIFE on EARTH. You can look back OVER Michael's AMAZING LIFE OF EXTREME HIGHS AND LOWS (I"m ll years younger than MJ) and you can see GOD"s SPECIAL ANOINTING on Michael's Life.
**
Third, To me, Michael wasn't just a GENIUS, GIFTED ENTERTAINER, BUT rather A VERY SPECIAL, LOVING HUMAN BEING and GIFT FROM GOD to spread a VERY IMPORTANT Message of LOVE, PEACE, FORGIVENESS and HARMONY across the GLOBE, WORLDWIDE through his BEAUTIFUL MUSIC and LIFE!! Do you know that the name MICHAEL means "A Special Heavenly Angel close to GOD". Of All of Katherine and Joseph Jackson's 9 children, their 7th Child was named MICHAEL!!! That wasn't by mistake BUT rather by GOD"s DIVINE' PLAN from the beginning!! Just like GOD has a DIVINE PLAN for ALL OF OUR LIVES TO TOUCH AND IMPACT THIS WORLD IN OUR OWN SMALL and UNIQUE WAY!!
**
Fourth, ONLY GOD knows what was to come ahead for our BELOVED Michael and he said it was TIME to call his BELOVED SON, MICHAEL, HOME from Earth, thus leaving his FAMILY, CHILDREN and FANS WORLDWIDE HEARTBROKEN!! I'm just so GRATEFUL TO GOD that Michael WAS DOING WHAT HE LOVED TO DO MOST, and that's was ENTERTAINING and PEFORMING on Stage where Michael felt most HAPPY and LOVED!! I believe the THIS IS IT Concert Movie is a BEAUTIFUL TESTIMONY of MJ's LIFE, HEART and SOUL left behind for MJ's Family, Children and Fans to ENJOY FOREVER!! Death is Never Easy and It's SO FINAL, COLD and PAINFUL. Also, the Loved Ones are left behind to bear the PAIN, GRIEF and SORROW!!. But you have to know that GOD is here for US too to help with the GRIEVING process by giving us his AMAZING and ABUNDANCE OF LOVE, PEACE, GRACE and MERCY!!!
**
I LOVE YOU MICHAEL and I THANK GOD FOR BLESSING US WITH THE AMAZING GIFT CALLED Mr. Michael Joseph Jackson. There will NEVER be another Michael Joseph Jackson EVER!! Michael will FOREVER BE the GREATEST, GOD-GIFTED, GORGEOUS, GENEROUS, GENIUS ENTERTAINER THAT EVER LIVED PERIOD. I'm so Blessed that I LOVED, ADMIRED and RESPECTED you and was a HUGE FAN and got to ENJOY You while you were alive and Touched our lives over your 40 years Career!!!
**
RIP MJ - WE LOVE YOU MORE TOO BUT GOD LOVED YOU MOST!!! Listen to MJ's BEAUTIFUL SONG "FOR ALL TIMES" (Thriller 25th Anniversary). FOR ALL TIMES is very Healing and Loving!!

XOXOXO - MJ,
IreneLovesMichael,
A DEVOTED MJ FAN FOREVER, FOR ALL TIMES, Bloomfield, NJ

Re: Michael Jackson: A Musical Legacy Special New Exhibit at The Grammy Museum
My sister just saw the exhibit in London and said it was outstanding. She also saw the Thriller Live show in the West End. I wish Thriller Live was being performed on Broadway. I guess it'll come eventually but I want to see it NOW! Looks like I need to plan an MJ trip to London.

Re: Michael Jackson: A Musical Legacy Special New Exhibit at The Grammy Museum
I had the pleasure of visiting the museum a few days ago. It was absolutely wonderful! I could not believe I was seeing the outfits that he wore up close. Also, the floor that was used in Billie Jean is there. You can get on it and dance and it lights up like it did in the video. If you think that you can copy Mike's moves, you may want to check it out.

Re: Michael Jackson: A Musical Legacy Special New Exhibit at The Grammy Museum
That sounds really cool, but I don't live in California, heck, I live on the other side of the country! So I won't be able to see it. (*sigh*). BUT, when I'm grown up, maybe I'll just take me a little trip for fun down there to L.A. and I wanna see where Michael is buried AND that special exhibit!
