FOREWORD BY JUSTIN BIEBER

I have to admit that the first time I stepped into the exhibit about myself at the Stratford Perth Museum, it was a bit weird.

An exhibit about yourself? And I’m still alive! That’s what I kept thinking.

The exhibit Steps to Stardom was not just humbling for me; it also brought back all sorts of memories, and not just from the early part of my career but from childhood as well. The first time I went through the exhibit, I was with my mom and grandparents, and I couldn’t believe that my grandparents had kept all of my stuff.

I gave my grandpa a big hug when I saw some of the things he and my grandma had kept and loaned to the museum. He won’t mind me saying that he teared up. I really have to thank my grandpa and grandma and the museum for making this happen.

When the museum first asked if they could do an exhibit about me, I said, “Go for it.”

Now that the exhibit is a year old, I can say that I’m really happy thousands of people have come from all over the world to visit and to enjoy seeing the stuff that means so much to me. I also want to say thanks to the people who have taken the time to write such nice messages on the blackboard.

I’m so glad the exhibit makes people happy, and that’s the big reason I said “sure” when John and the people at the museum asked if it was okay to extend the exhibit another year.

I also think it is great that the museum is doing this book and catalogue. The book talks about how the exhibit came to be, it gives more information about the items on display, and the best thing is it tells some of the great stories from the first year.
