Overview
Previously unseen journals, letters, sketches and more from the vast personal archive of Leonard Cohen
Leonard Cohen is renowned the world over for his meditations on beauty, death, loss and the human heart. The objects, papers, and artifacts from Cohen's personal archive provide fresh insight into the artist's creative pursuits and the arc of his career over six decades. Aware from an early age that he was destined to make a mark on this world, Cohen preserved an expansive collection of letters, journals, manuscripts, sketches and records. Together, they provide a rich visual road map to his evolution as a poet and songwriter.
The first publication to present the holdings of the Leonard Cohen Family Trust, Everybody Knows, Inside His Archive immerses visitors in the many facets of Cohen's creative life. Rare concert footage and archival materials, including musical instruments, notebooks, lyrics and letters are featured alongside photographs, drawings and digital art created by Cohen across several decades.
Leonard Cohen (1934-2016) was a Canadian poet, singer-songwriter and novelist.

Over his long and productive career, he published numerous books of poetry and two novels, The Favourite Game and Beautiful Losers, and in 1993, Stranger Music: Selected Poems and Songs. He recorded more than a dozen music albums, and numerous tribute albums, in many languages, have celebrated his songs. He died in Los Angeles in 2016 and was secretly buried in Montreal a few days later.
