ART strongly associated with Camden Town , Amy was a Londoner through and through . The second section of the exhibition explores Amy ’ s connections with her home town through a variety of objects such as photographs of her in Southgate and Camden , ticket stubs from London gigs she went to and items from her Camden home , such as a vintage bar .
Also explored in the exhibition is the variety of influences on Amy ’ s music , many of which were passed down through the family – jazz , big band , hip-hop , soul and 1960s girl groups . As testament to her eclectic tastes , Amy ’ s record collection will be on display . Other remarkable items related to her love of music and performing arts include her guitar , her Sylvia Young Theatre School uniform and a Grammy Award that Amy was awarded posthumously in 2011 for Best Pop Duo / Group Performance of " Body and Soul " with Tony Bennett .
Finally , the exhibition looks at Amy the style icon , famous for her influences from 1950s rock ’ n ’ roll and 1960s girl groups . A range of Amy ’ s clothing , both designer and high street , will be on display in the exhibition , including the Luella Bartley dress worn at her Glastonbury performance in 2008 , an Arrogant Cat dress worn in the ' Tears Dry On Their Own ' video , a dress she wore for her debut US TV appearance on the David Letterman Show and a gingham dress that Amy designed for her Fred Perry collection .
Abigail Morris , Director of the Jewish Museum London said : “ Aside from being an immensely talented , iconic and inspirational singer , Amy was also 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 . Following its immense success around the world , we are delighted to be bringing our Amy Winehouse exhibition back to London . Our street art trail is an exciting new way to explore Amy ’ s impact on her local community and we are keen to celebrate her legacy through the work of these outstanding street artists ".
The exhibition is sponsored by Amy ’ s record label , Universal Music .
