This morning, the Museum of Modern Art held a press preview for its blockbuster retrospective of Björk, a multimedia exhibition that includes more than 20 years of work from the artist's career. Featuring photography, music videos, costumes, theatrical performances, sound installations, and a site-specific film project called Blake Lake, we can't think of a more hotly anticipated opening or reason to be excited about Iceland.

The retrospective was brought to life through a close collaboration between Björk and Klaus Biesenbach, chief curator at large at MoMA and director of MoMA PS1. On top of exhibiting a melange of cultural ephemera that ties to the musician's entire discography—from 1993's Debut to this year's Vulnicura—visitors will be able to get a peak inside the mind of the iconic artist through journals, personal photos, and more. While VICE and its sister-sites will continue to cover this landmark MoMA event in the upcoming weeks, we wanted to make your mouths water with some sneak-peek photos from the press preview.

Björk is open to the public from March 8 through June 7. For more information, visit MoMA's website. The retrospective was made possible by a partnership with Volkswagen of America.
