Seattle’s Museum of Pop Culture (MOPOP) is offering the public a chance to get up close and personal with Princess Diana’s memorabilia before it’s sold at auction.

According to MOPOP’s website, the 12 historical pieces will be on display from May 1 to May 13.

“This display offers a rare glimpse inside the personal fashion collection of the Princess of Wales that defined an era and influenced generations,” the museum wrote.

The pieces include her 1989 Belville Sassoon Floral Day Dress and her 1989 Rayne Green satin evening pumps, among others.

Members can get an inside look at the Princess Diana collection

MOPOP members have the chance to enjoy a more intimate behind-the-scenes look at the collection on May 11 from 12 p.m. to 1:30 p.m.
