Michael Jackson fans are getting a new look at his prized possessions in a new exhibition at London's O2 Center. The exhibit showcases many of Jackson's iconic glittering costumes as well as the eclectic bounty of his personal collections including toys, a crown, a throne and numerous portraits of himself in a variety of styles and outfits.

The show includes more than just Jackson's belongings. It also features the patented special design shoes that allowed Jackson and his dancers to lean forward at a 45-degree angle in the music video for the song "Smooth Criminal." Many other music video props are also displayed including the rocket ship he rode in the "Leave Me Alone" video and the zombie mannequins from "Thriller." The exhibit conjures up the magic of Michael Jackson and offers up some solace to the many fans who were planning to attend his London shows.
