Princess Diana Exhibition Comes to Cleveland

Slated to run through June 10, 2007, the critically acclaimed “Diana, the Celebration” exhibition opened last month at Cleveland’s Western Reserve Historical Society (WRHS).

The exhibition honors the life and humanitarian work of one of the most remarkable and iconic women of the 20th century. Visitors will get a rare inside look at Princess Diana’s public and private life through nearly 150 objects, including her 1981 Royal Wedding gown, 28 designer dresses and gowns, family heirlooms, personal mementos, paintings and rare home movies and photos.

“We are delighted to be the host organization for this incredible exhibition’s return engagement to the US and help make it available to people in Northeast Ohio and for visitors who come from other regions of the country,” said WRHS CEO Patrick Reymann. “This remarkable woman touched millions of lives all over the world and this exhibition truly celebrates her contributions and her legacy as well as her personal and family history.”

There is good wheelchair-access throughout the WRHS, and barrier-free access to all parts of the Diana exhibition.
