Manifesting Marilyn: The Making of an Icon at Genesis House
Timed to Marilyn Monroe’s centennial, Manifesting Marilyn: The Making of an Icon invites visitors to rediscover one of history’s most enduring cultural figures through a new lens, highlighting her intellect, ambition, discipline and self-authorship. Presented at Genesis House in New York City’s Meatpacking District, the immersive exhibition unfolds across six galleries featuring rare archival objects, personal books, photographs, audio, reimagined headlines and cinematic installations that explore Marilyn’s transformation from Norma Jeane into one of the world’s most recognizable icons. The experience extends beyond the galleries with a curated recreation of Marilyn’s personal library and limited-time food and beverage offerings at Genesis House Restaurant.
