I spent 2 hours going round Diva on 2 levels, I was given headphones at the entrance, I find them hard to handle as I also wear glasses to read all print, so gave them back, and then enjoyed admiring all the exhibits. took me back to my childhood when I saw Greta Garbo, Marilyn. My current favourites are Tina Turner and Rihanna, both are well covered. On day I visited a visitor had a fall coming down steps, so please be vigilant. Enjoy
