Ripley’s well-dressed dino is not only ready to welcome the LA Pride Parade, but also the opening of a limited-time-only exhibit highlighting Marilyn Monroe. Beginning Memorial Day weekend, the star’s historic “Happy Birthday” dress — now also Kim Kardashian’s 2022 Met Gala look — will be on display at Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Hollywood. Visitors can see it sparkle and get a behind-the-scenes glimpse at Kim’s memorable Met Gala look, along with other memorabilia from Marilyn Monroe and John F. Kennedy.
Not near Hollywood, California? Although Ripley’s T. rex is pretty much attached to its roof, the “Happy Birthday” dress — now valued at over $10 million — will be touring Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Attractions worldwide through 2023.
