DETROIT (AP) – A Jackson 5 exhibit is opening at the Motown Historical Museum in Detroit, marking the one-year anniversary this week of Michael Jackson’s death.

Starting Tuesday, the public will be able to view photographs, awards and uniforms the group wore throughout its career.

Museum chief curator Lina Stephens says the exhibit celebrates the life of Jackson and acknowledges the Jackson 5’s “contribution to the Motown story.” Jackson died June 25, 2009.

Stephens says the exhibit will be open through October. Museum summer hours are Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
