Amy Winehouse Tickets

Amy Winehouse fans will have a new opportunity to get some insight into the star's background this summer, with a new exhibition examining her family life and Jewish roots.

The original exhibition, curated by the singer’s brother Alex Winehouse and sister-in-law Riva, is to be titled Amy Winehouse: A Family Portrait.

The exhibition celebrates Amy’s passion for music, fashion, London and her family, having been given some of the late pop star’s most intimate belongings including her guitar, record collection and iconic outfits.

Among the items to be displayed in the exhibition are photographs of her family life, focusing on her strong Jewish roots and close family relationships, Friday night dinners, her brother’s bar mitzvah and vintage snaps of her beloved grandmother Cynthia.

“Amy was someone who was incredibly proud of her Jewish-London roots,” said Alex Winehouse.

“Whereas other families would go to the seaside on a sunny day, we’d always go down the East End. That was who we were, and what we were.

“We weren’t religious, but we were traditional. I hope, in this most fitting of places, that the world gets to see this other side not just to Amy, but to out typical Jewish family.”

Amy: A Family Portrait will be divided into four themes - Judaism, family and home; Amy and London; music; and style icon.

CEO of the Jewish museum, Abigail Morris, said: “Amy Winehouse was an immensely talented, iconic and inspirational singer and she was a Jewish girl from North London.

“It is fitting that the Jewish Museum in her beloved Camden Town should be the place to tell her story in the year that she would have celebrated her 30th birthday. We are very honoured that Alex and Riva chose the museum.”

Yesterday it was reported that plans to erect a bronze statue of Amy in Camden had been approved, while recently there were suggestion of a new north London street being named after her.

Amy Winehouse: A Family Portrait will run form July 3 to September 15 at the Jewish Museum, Raymond Burton House, Albert Street, London.
