16 MARCH — 24 SEPTEMBER 2017

Discover the woman behind the music and beyond the hype in this exhibition about a much loved sister, co-curated with Winehouse’s brother Alex and sister-in-law Riva.

Amy’s family have allowed unprecedented access to Amy’s personal belongings that celebrate her passion for music, fashion, sudoku, Snoopy, London and her family.

Amy was close to her family and had a strong sense of her Jewish roots and heritage. Among the objects on display you can see many photographs of Amy’s family life – Friday night dinners, Alex’s barmitzvah and vintage photographs of their beloved grandmother Cynthia.

Originally staged in 2013 and returning to the Jewish Museum in Camden Town following a record-breaking international tour, don’t miss your chance to see this intimate and moving exhibition.

This exhibition is generously supported by

PLUS DON’T MISS

AMY STREET ART TRAIL and PEGASUS INSTALLATION ‘LOVE IS A LOSING GAME’16 MARCH – 4 JUNE 2017

Our street art trail in Camden Town is a new way to explore the area Amy called home. Produced in collaboration with Global Street Art, the trail features Amy-themed artwork by Captain Kris, Mr Cenz, Philth, and Amara Por Dios.

The trail leads to an installation, ‘Love Is A Losing Game’, in the museum by renowned

street artist Pegasus, who gained recognition for his work ‘Fallen Angel’ honouring Winehouse shortly after her death.

Due to the nature of street art we cannot guarantee that all works will remain for the full duration and advise visiting sooner rather than later.

Thank you to all those who generously donated to our Art Happens campaign for making the Pegasus installation and street art trail possible.
