Georgia Aquarium is now presenting an opportunity fit for a Princess. With the Royal Combo, you can see both the Georgia Aquarium and "Diana: A Celebration." Learn more.
"Diana: A Celebration" presents the life and work of one of the most remarkable women of our time, and certainly one of the most photographed, with more than one billion television viewers watching the 1981 Royal Wedding. Her charm, beauty and easy grace touched people worldwide during her short and complex life.
The exhibition includes a series of 150 stunning objects that chronicle Diana’s life and invite the visitor to share the milestones of her many roles: as a youngster, schoolgirl and athlete; as the shy kindergarten teacher who captured the heart of the Prince and the public; as the young, ravishing royal bride; as the devoted mother, sister and daughter; and as the tireless charity advocate and spokeswoman.
Also featured in the exhibition are portraits of her ancestors, family jewels, heirlooms, paintings, artifacts and photos, which provide historical context. Home movies filmed by her father and scenes from her childhood, her engagement to Prince Charles and the events leading up to the Royal Wedding are remembered and animated with video clips, personal possessions, photos, displays and letters. The glorious Royal Wedding gallery features her resplendent gown, diamond tiara, veil and 25-foot train, shoes and parasol.
Other major highlights of the exhibition include:
- More than 28 dresses, suits and evening gowns designed by Chanel, Versace, Valentino and Azagury that were worn by the Princess during her public life, accompanied by photos and designer details from the event at which the outfits were worn
- Two diamond tiaras and other priceless family jewels
- Musical score and lyrics of the Elton John/Bernie Taupin composition, adapted from “Candle in the Wind"
- The original text of Earl Spencer’s moving tribute to his sister at the funeral in Westminister Abbey
- An audio tour with an introduction by Earl Spencer (provided for an additional fee)
The Atlanta Civic Center is located in the heart of midtown Atlanta at 395 Piedmont Avenue, Atlanta, GA 30308.
