Commemorate David Bowie in London

Rejected 16 signatures

What the petition asks

David Bowie was an integral part of our UK culture who profoundly influenced and inspired millions of people throughout the world. He deserves recognition among the greatest writers, poets and performers in our history. “Our London boy” David’s unique story is one we should be proud of as a nation.
A museum dedicated to the artistic and creative contributions of the late David Bowie would be a fitting tribute to an outstanding poet, artist, lyricist, musician, singer, actor, mime artist. His unique artistic process should be available to the public so he can continue to inspire generations to come. He was one of the most fascinating, talented individuals of this century, and beyond. The V&A Exhibition, Bowie Is, is evidence of the level of interest in this great British icon.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
