Tickets begin at $25 for adults on the weekdays and raise to $32 on weekend days. Other ticketing bundles, like family and group passes, as well as senior and military discounts, are available. Children are welcome.

The exhibit has already traveled through Toronto, Chicago and Los Angeles and has racked up an average of 4.9 stars on Google reviews for the Illinois experience. 

Its creators share that those interested will learn more about Diana's story, as told through the words of her official royal photographer and trusted friend, Anwar Hussein, and his two sons, Samir and Zak, who followed in their father’s footsteps as royal photographers with the next generation of royals. 

"It features more than 140 larger-than-life photos paired with stories woven in with art and artifacts to celebrate Diana’s life and emotional path as she modernized motherhood, revolutionized fashion, and showed the world how to be human," the release shares. More than 50 never-before-told stories are also said to be highlighted on the website.
