Bowie's relationship with Scotland is highlighted with a focus on the sold-out Ziggy Stardust concert at Dundee's Caird Hall attended by 2,500 fans in 1973.
The exhibition is displayed across four sections, taking audiences behind the scenes into Bowie’s creative process and exploring how he created his ever-evolving image, music and screen work.
It opens on Wednesday, November 4, and runs until February 15. You can buy tickets here.
