The GRAMMY Museum at LA Live was taking down the small exhibition it had on Michael Jackson the day he died.He'd been rehearsing next door at the Staples Centre, as LA became his home base, a spokeswoman for the museum explained.So following his death and memorial service, the museum decided to instead expand the Michael Jackson:HIStyle exhibit, with the new Michael Jackson: A Musical Legacy.The exhibit features a small dance floor of light-up tiles where you can take a turn mimicking Jackson's dance steps to Billie Jean in the music video.It celebrates Jackson's life and work and includes a collection of his wardrobe pieces - seven elaborately embellished jackets and two gloves as well as his trademark fedora.The jackets were worn on the Victory tour, at Jackson's 1984 American Music Awards appearance, and at the dedication of his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.All are bejewelled, beaded, and detailed with one piece weighing almost seven kilograms.As the museum says, Jackson's "crystals, sequins, beads, embroidery, and insignia have combined to catch the eyes of millions, transmitting his dance moves from the stage to the back row, and his starpower across the world"."The overwhelming response to our earlier exhibits speaks to Jackson's unparalleled place in music history and the public's deep connection to his music," executive director Robert Santelli says."We're excited to share even more of Jackson's life and legacy with his fans and we hope it serves as a fitting tribute to one of the most significant entertainers in music history."It also shows original lyrics and a Jackson 5 stage costume.Eight video monitors display footage of Jackson's appearances on the annual GRAMMY Awards, as well as never-before-seen video of some of his famous friends sharing their memories of him.Santelli and The GRAMMY Museum also curated Michael Jackson: The Official Exhibition, the Arts and Exhibitions International exhibit currently travelling internationally.
