Kylie Minogue will be the subject of a new exhibition in London's prestigious Victoria and Albert museum.

'Kylie: The Exhibition' will showcase classic costumes from the singer's 20-year career, including the oil-stained dungarees she wore as Charlene Robinson in TV soap 'Neighbours' and the mini gold lamé hotpants she donned for her 'Spinning Around' video.

Kylie, who successfully battled breast cancer, said: "I hope visitors have a great time exploring the exhibition, finding the familiar and discovering the new."

The exhibition - which opens in February next year - will reveal 45 stunning stage costumes from Kylie's nine world tours, as well as accessories and photographs.

The 38-year-old donated many of the glitzy outfits herself and is planning to add to the exhibition after she resumes her 'Showgirl' tour next month.

A museum spokesman said: "Kylie decided to put her clothes on show because it is a lovely way of remembering her career."

The exhibition originated in Melbourne, where it attracted 300,000 visitors during its three-month run.
