Now, Michael Jackson fans can get a glimpse of the house of their icon and get educated about his lifestyle. The house is being recreated for a world exclusive exhibition in the Republic of Ireland.

Newbridge Silverware Museum of Style Icons in Co Kildare will display until May 30 pieces of furniture personally commissioned by the King of Pop for the Kent mansion where he planned to spend time during his concerts.

All the items, including a luxurious 16ft sofa and a feather-trimmed armchair hand picked for Elizabeth Taylor, will be auctioned at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas by celebrity agents Julien.

Phil Donnelly, of Newbridge Silverware, revealed two 40ft containers which were used to transport the 17 items of custom-built furniture overseas for the exclusive showing.

''This is literally going to be what Michael Jackson's home was going to be like during those series of concerts. 'Fans are going to get the chance to see it themselves. We felt we would be honoured to hold this event. It''s in celebration of him and a tribute," says Phil.

A part of the profit from the sale are to be donated to charities MusiCares and Joshua's Heart.
