Whitney Houston Exhibition To Evoke Fun Memories For Fans

Whitney Houston's friends and family kept her fans in mind when picking memorabilia for a new posthumous exhibition - they chose items which would "bring back fun memories", according to the late star's sister-in-law.

A new display was opened in honour of the pop superstar at The Grammy Museum in Los Angeles on Wednesday (15Aug12), and pieces on show include the white beaded gown she wore at the 1994 Grammy Awards, photographs, albums and her Bible.

Houston's manager/sister-in-law Pat Houston was among the family members at the launch, and she insists each item in the exhibition has special meaning.

She told reporters, "We have picked the things that people will find the most interesting and, in many cases, bring back fun memories.

"We are really very overjoyed that we are here today to represent and be a part of such a wonderful and splendid career of such a beautiful and talented woman."

Whitney! Celebrating the Musical Legacy of Whitney Houston is expected to run until early next year (13). The singer drowned in a bath in her suite at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in February (12).
