Amy Winehouse: A Family Portrait features items from her early years, with an old guitar and a traditional Jewish cookbook both on display.

The singer’s brother Alex and her sister-in-law Riva helped with the exhibition, and the cookbook was actually a birthday present he gave her when she told him she wanted to make chicken noodle soup.

Amy’s record collection shows her eclectic taste, with everything from jazz and soul to The Mickey Mouse Club, The Offspring and Adam Sandler.

It gives an insight into the star’s influences, whilst the exhibit also shows her love for fashion with her clothes hung up on display.

According to MailOnline, exhibition curator Liz Selby said: “One of the things that we talked about a lot was that Amy was quite a messy person. She didn’t iron her clothes, she wasn’t particularly clean and tidy.

“And they really asked us to do nothing with the objects, we weren’t allowed to conserve them – and I think that’s right. We want to get a sense of how Amy would have kept her own things. We chose to put one dress into a case in the exhibition because it was a particularly special one – but the rest of them are dressed in a wardrobe setting.”
