A museum in Justin Bieber’s birthplace of Stratford, Ontario is preparing an exhibit of memorabilia set to open next month in honor of its hometown hero.
The Stratford Perth Museum announced on Thursday that “Justin Bieber: Steps to Stardom” featuring memoirs from the formative years of the Canadian pop star, is set to open on Feb. 18.
Further information comes via the local Stratford Beacon Herald, which reports that the show will feature a collection of personal items, awards and memorabilia that have been donated by Bieber and his family.
The exhibit’s name refers to the steps of Stratford’s Avon Theatre, where Bieber got his start busking as a boy.
“The steps of the Avon Theatre was probably the turning point (in his life), but for many people around here, they knew he was talented years before that,” John Kastner, general manager of the Stratford Perth Museum, told the Stratford Beacon Herald.
Among the items set to go on display are the star’s hockey bag and jersey from his days with the Stratford Warriors, running shoes, backstage credentials, T-shirts, personal letters, photographs, award trophies and the platinum record for his 2009 debut album, “My World”. JB
