To celebrate the centennial of the cinematic icon, Marilyn: The Making of an Icon is a major immersive exhibition presented in New York City. Located at Genesis House.

Rather than revisiting the familiar mythology surrounding Marilyn Monroe, the exhibition explores a more unexpected side of her story: reader, thinker, strategist, dreamer, and architect of her own becoming.  

At the center of the experience is a recreation of Marilyn Monroe’s personal library, alongside immersive spaces including a private office and a vanity experience reframing glamour as strategy.

The exhibition is open Tuesday to Sunday, 11AM–7PM, through August 2. Genesis House Restaurant guests have access to extended hours after completing their restaurant experience.
