Morris said that another side of the problem "Back To Black" about which Amy Winehouse sang will be shown at this exhibition.

"Everyone thinks they know who she was, people have seen her in pictures, but in fact she was someone's little sister and this exhibition reveals the story of a woman who was a favorite not only because she was a well-known" - continued the director of the museum.
