The award-winning exhibition Diana, A Celebration, chronicles the life and work of Diana, Princess of Wales. This is a rare and final opportunity to see this exhibition before it leaves North America to return to the Althorp Estate. The exhibition presents the life and humanitarian work of one of the 20th century’s most remarkable women through nine galleries containing 150 objects — ranging from her royal wedding gown and 28 of her designer dresses to family heirlooms, personal mementos, paintings and rare home movies and photos. The exhibition is on loan from the Althorp Estate, the Spencer family’s 500-year-old ancestral home.
Tony Cook, marketing and public relations manager for Union Station, said the visitors should reserve about an hour for the tour.
“Enjoying tea along with the exhibit should be a very enjoyable experience,” Cook said.
