Of Course Marilyn will be honored in other ways. For example:

Los Angeles: The Academy Museum of Motion Pictures will host its first exhibition honoring Monroe from May 31, 2026, to February 28, 2027, featuring items like her boots from The Misfits and a personal black cocktail dress.

Paris: The Cinémathèque Française (Cinema Tech Museum) will feature an exhibit from April 8 to July 26, highlighting her evening cape from the East of Eden premiere.

London: The National Portrait Gallery will run an exhibition from June 4 to September 6, focusing on her time filming The Prince and the Showgirl in the UK
