London: David Bowie was working on an "18th century" themed musical at the time of his death, which will feature in a new London centre dedicated to the seminal British artist, the BBC reported Friday.

The V&A museum will open the free-to-access home for Bowie's vast archive in Stratford, east London, on September 13.

One exhibit will be notes from a previously unknown project called "The Spectator", which he described as an "18th Century musical".

The work showcased Bowie's fascination with art and satire in 18th Century London, and drew inspiration from criminals of the time, including notorious thief "Honest" Jack Sheppard, according to notes shared with the BBC.

The walls of a locked room in Bowie's New York office were adorned with post-it notes for the project when he died in 2016, and were left unseen until his belongings were archived.
