The V & A museum has a wide range of wonderful exhibitions. Currently running is the Diva exhibition: if you have read The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo you will be particularly interested in the Golden Age of Hollywood section. If you prefer more contemporary divas like Beyoncé, Adele, Prince and Rihanna, you will love the final part of the exhibition.
