A three-month long exhibition of Michael Jackson's personal belongings from Neverland Ranch has opened at London's O2 arena today, October 28. "Michael Jackson: The Official Exhibition" presents over 250 items from the singer's personal collection ranging from his childhood fame at Motown all the way to his planned "This Is It" concerts scheduled for this past summer.

(See slideshow below)

The collection includes an "original Jackson 5 contract, personally-commissioned portraits, the largest publicly displayed collection of his iconic concert and video costumes, his personal Rolls Royce and the famous sequined glove." Other items on display include the Michael Jackson robot featured in "Moonwalker", and a Neverland room, a shrine to Jackson with a fantasy painting of him being knighted.

It was reported in August that this memorabilia tour would last two years. However, the cities to host the exhibit after London have not been announced yet.
