Exhibit Info

On View - Feb 05, 2019 - Feb 05, 2019

Diamond In A Rhinestone World: The Costumes Of Dolly Parton will offer a retrospective of Parton’s career and most iconic fashion moments. The exhibit will also feature WHIM canvasses now at the Museum, making the GRAMMY Museum the first museum to showcase WHIM’s unique ability to see music differently and experience more.
“I probably have thousands of dresses from over the years,” said Parton. “I had a hard time letting go of some of my favorites, but I’m excited for them to be included in this exhibit. I can’t wait to see them on display at the GRAMMY Museum!”

This exhibit captures the spirit of Parton through some of her most cherished outfits, which include costumes from her most memorable album covers, music videos, and live performances.

“To say that it’s an honor to showcase Dolly Parton’s all-time greatest outfits and her first exhibit in the United States outside of Dollywood at the GRAMMY Museum is an understatement,” said the Museum’s Executive Director Michael Sticka. “Displaying these extraordinary costumes and pieces will take you through a career that has spanned decades of someone who is beloved as both a groundbreaking artist and a trendsetting pioneer. We are extremely grateful to Dolly for letting us feature some of the most memorable and innovative outfits in music history.”
