Furthermore, there will be held a special exhibition about Dries van Kuijk. The story of the life of this striking man from Breda will be told with many authentic pieces. Eye-catcher is a handwritten letter that Dries wrote to his mother in 1930 and in which he writes that he will be home soon. Clothing, personal possessions and black-and-white pictures from the photo album of the family van Kuijk that have never been shown before. Moreover, there will also be displayed an original copy of the women’s magazine Rosita from 1960 in which the family van Kuijk recognised their Dries as the manager of Elvis Presley after he had been gone for 30 years, together with letters that ‘Tom Parker’ wrote to his family in Breda, accompanied by a photograph that Elvis himself had signed. The exhibition will also show the Breda of the twenties, when Dries grew up in this city. Next to some antique circus pieces, we will also show some hyper exclusive images of the Breda Circus Van Bever where young Dries developed his love for show business and got his first job. We thank the family of Colonel Parker in The Netherlands and Loanne Parker, Colonels widow for their cooperation.
