Genesis has announced that its special exhibition on Marilyn Monroe in New York will be extended until September due to positive responses from local visitors and the arts community.
On July 16, Genesis revealed that the 'Manifesting Marilyn' exhibition at Genesis House New York in Manhattan will run for an additional month.
This exhibition was organized to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Marilyn Monroe's birth. It reinterprets Monroe not just as a Hollywood star but as a figure of challenge, innovation, and self-realization. The exhibition was planned in collaboration with Authentic Brands Group, which holds the Marilyn Monroe estate.
Local cultural and marketing media have also given positive reviews of the exhibition. DesignRush, a U.S. brand and marketing publication, stated, "It accomplished what previous retrospectives could not," and convincingly showcased that Monroe was someone who designed her own image.
The exhibition has attracted significant visitor engagement. According to Genesis House New York, areas such as 'Marilyn's Office,' which introduces Monroe's personal library and reading habits, and 'New Beginnings Hall,' where visitors can leave their own messages, have garnered considerable interest.
In particular, over 10,000 visitors participated in 'New Beginnings Hall' by leaving messages on an interactive screen. Social media content related to the exhibition recorded over 15 million impressions in June, the first month of its opening, indicating continued online interest.
Genesis emphasizes that this special exhibition goes beyond a mere display, aiming to convey its brand philosophy through cultural content. The exhibition is designed to allow visitors to experience Monroe's life from a new perspective through storytelling and immersive content, rather than overtly showcasing the brand.
Joe McHugh, head of Genesis House New York, stated, "Genesis House has built trust by focusing on culture rather than the brand itself, and our goal is to develop into a space where the cultural community can participate and interact."
A Genesis representative added, "We will continue to expand brand experiences that provide global customers with new perspectives and inspiration through various cultural and artistic content."
Genesis House New York, which opened in 2021, is a brand cultural complex that showcases a variety of cultural content, including exhibitions, performances, and culinary experiences, establishing itself as a prominent cultural space in New York. The 'Manifesting Marilyn' exhibition is free for anyone to visit without prior reservation or admission fees.
