Jackson memorabilia on display in London
0 
Fans of the pop star Michael Jackson are expected to flock to an exhibition of rare memorabilia at London's O2 Arena. The displays include a glittering array of the star's personal belongings.
The exhibition, which opens on Wednesday is a documentation of Jackson's musical legacy.
The memorabilia includes the late singer's navy blue Rolls Royce, a selection of his trademark gloves and sequined jackets, and a contract from his early days as a member of The Jackson 5.
Another highlight of the exhibition is the design and patent for the shoes he invented for the leaning dance move that he performs in the video accompanying the song 'Smooth Criminal'.
Potentially the most interesting part of the exhibition is the Neverland room a veritable shrine to Jackson with a fantasy painting of him being knighted and another depicting him wearing royal garb, as well as an ornate throne of red velvet and gold.
The exhibition is timed to coincide with the premiere on Tuesday night of a film, consisting of rehearsals for his ill-fated 'This Is It' series of performances in London.
The sold-out shows were cancelled after Jackson's sudden death in June at age 50.
The exhibition, which showcases some 250 items, including many from Jackson's personal estate, will stay in London for three months before it moves on to other cities to be announced later.
