If you're wondering what you might do over the fast-approaching Easter long weekend, why not visit the gorgeous Victoria and Albert Museum in London?
They've recently opened some new "Theatre and Performance" Galleries, and it's no surprise that the world's most celebrated Housewife/Megastar features in the exhibit!!!Dame Edna is, of course, the theatre world's foremost style icon (little Helen Mirren and Judi Dench are always calling to borrow a frock or diamond bracelet!).
And so it's only right that Edna's Baked Beans dress from the "Dame Edna's Work Experience" television show, and her 1976 Sydney Opera House hat for Ascot, are displayed at the V&A amongst the best of the UK's theatrical gems.
Quicksticks, Possums! Check out these articles for more details:

Rumour has it that the good people at the V&A have begged Edna to lend them the gorgeous collection of frocks she has had designed by her son Kenny over the years. The addition of a "Kenny Everage Originals" Gallery at the museum would surely be an unrivalled attraction, don't you think?
