Amy Winehouse: A Family Portrait Exhibition in Brussels

exhibition · 2026-05-04

The Musée Juif de Belgique, in collaboration with the Jewish Museum of London, presents 'Amy Winehouse: A Family Portrait,' a traveling exhibition exploring the late singer's life through personal objects, writings, and photographs. The show highlights Winehouse's deep attachment to London and her Jewish roots, aspects often overshadowed by her struggles with addiction and depression. Curated by Bruno Benvindo and Zahava Seewald, the exhibition was made possible with support from her brother Alex and sister-in-law Riva. It previously toured San Francisco, Amsterdam, and Melbourne, and runs in Brussels until September 16, 2018. Winehouse, born in London in 1983, died in 2011 at age 27.
