An exhibition of Michael Jackson's personal items is to open at London's O2 Arena this Autumn.

Following a deal with the Special Administrators of Jackson's estate John McClain and John Branca memorabilia and personal pieces from Jackson's life will form part of a touring display for the world to see.

McClain and Branca issued a joint statement saying, “In putting together this project, selecting an exhibition company to entrust with carrying on Michael’s legacy with dignity and respect was of the utmost importance to us. We feel we have chosen the right partner for this venture with Arts and Exhibitions International”

John Norman, chairman of Arts and Exhibitions International, the company in charge of the exhibition, went on to say, “As a premier exhibitions company, this will be one of the most momentous projects in our history because Michael Jackson meant so much to so many.

"We are honored to have a role in celebrating Michael Jackson’s artistry and the place he holds in our hearts.”
