"David Bowie Is" celebrates the late musician's legacy from the clothes he wore to the music he wrote.

The touring exhibit, currently in its final stop at the Brooklyn Museum in New York, features more than 400 objects from the David Bowie Archive, including the artist's original costumes, handwritten lyric sheets and performance clips.

Saw #davidbowieisbkm at @brooklynmuseum. We gave 3.5 hrs (taking time to read and study all) and we could easily have spent 2 more hours. The concert room was amazing! pic.twitter.com/BN3qWUFYWe
