Among the 70 exhibits is a TBS Award trophy Mui won in 1983 at the 12th Tokyo Music Festival that was donated by her close friend and stylist Eddie Lau Pui-kei and is on display for the first time.
Lau donated 20 pieces to the exhibition, including eight stage costumes he designed for Mui throughout her career.
