A new exhibition opened this month in Las Vegas to coincide with the 25th anniversary of the death of Diana.
The attraction, "Princess Diana: A Tribute Exhibition," occupies a 10,000-square-foot space where more than 700 items of memorabilia are on display. They include some of the late royal's evening gowns and artifacts such as the personal letters she wrote and the presents she gave to friends.
David Corelli, the curator of the exhibition, told Insider many of the items had not been seen before by the general public. He said he selected each of them with care to celebrate the "life and legacy" of Diana.
"Diana's message continues to get stronger and stronger with the passage of time," Corelli said. He added, "She is one of the most influential people of our time."
"She single-handedly changed the world with her humanitarian efforts, the love she showed for her family and others, and the impact she made on fashion."
He said the exhibit — which starts with a show of relics from her childhood in the UK — featured artifacts from her wedding to Prince Charles in 1981. Many of the dresses on display were sold at auction in 1996 at Sotheby's New York. The proceeds were split between some of Diana's favorite charities.
Tickets for the exhibition — which is inside The Shops at Crystals — start at $30 for adults. The price of admission includes a donation to the breast-cancer charity Pink Ribbons Crusade.
