It was previously shown in Paris, Fra. and Seoul, Kor.

“Created especially for Céline Dion by Maria Grazia Chiuri, Dior’s artistic director from 2016 to 2025, this gown showcases outstanding craftsmanship and required more than 1,000 hours of work,” the museum states, noting that it worked closely with the House of Dior and Dion’s team to bring the dress to Canada.

It adds that the haute couture design is designated to be the centre piece of an “intimate and exclusive experience,” promising to bring “visitors back to the breathtaking performance of Édith Piaf’s Hymne à l’amour by the stellar Quebec singer.”
