Madonna has taken daughter Mercy James to an exhibition honouring the late Tupac Shakur - whom she dated in the Nineties.
The singer, 63, attended the interactive exhibit with her 16-year-old daughter on Sunday in a bid to to educate her on 'his love of books, words and poetry'.
The exhibition features never before seen artifacts from Tupac’s personal archives - but not the controversial items relating to Madonna that she previously filed to stop being sold at auction.
In 2018, Madonna lost a legal battle to remove more than 100 items from sale, including a letter the rapper sent her from prison, a pair of her knickers, an old checkbook, a hairbrush and personal photos.

Tupac was gunned down and killed in a drive-by shooting in Las Vegas in September 1996, a year after he enjoyed a brief dalliance with the Rebel Heart singer.
Documenting her trip on Instagram, Madonna penned: 'Introducing Tupac and love of books and words and poetry to Mercy James on her birthday, #wakemewhenimfree LA Live!'
In the first photo of the pair, Madonna (born Madonna Louise Ciccone) was seen standing in front of one of media exhibits with her arms crossed.

Mercy James mimicked her mother by crossing her arms dressed in a faded black Nirvana T-shirt with light blue jeans and white sneakers.

The mother-daughter duo also kneeled down in the part of the exhibit that showcases the many poems and song lyrics Tupac wrote out in his own handwriting.
It's part of a room dedicated to all of his written works, which includes about 280 pieces of paper, in Shakur’s signature handwriting, from screenplays to poems to early songs.
The Rebel Heart singer-songwriter also struck a pose in front of a large image of the late rap superstar.

Madonna and Tupac dated from 1993 to 1995, with a love letter from the rapper revealing that he called time on their relationship due to the fact she was white.
After Madonna lost her long-winded legal battle to halt it from being sold, the love letter finally hit the auctioneers block in July 2019.
The break-up letter from the late rap star, dated January 1995, reveals he ended their relationship because he feared dating a white woman could jeopardize his career.
In June 2019, the New York State Appeals Court ruled Madonna couldn't sue her former friend Darlene Lutz for selling the letter to an online auction house after she filed for an emergency court order to stop the sale of letters, photos, a hairbrush, and even a pair of panties that she had once worn.
A Manhattan Supreme Court judge ruled that Madonna's former friend Darlene Lutz could give the items to auction house Gotta Have It Collectibles.
Shakur began the letter by apologizing to Madonna, writing: 'I haven't been the kind of friend I know I'm capable of being'.

More works: Madonna posted more words written out by Shakur in his own handwriting
'For you to be seen with a black man wouldn't in any way jeopardize your career, if anything it would make you seem that much more open and exciting,' he wrote later in the letter.
'I felt due to my "image" I would be letting down half of the people who made me what I thought I was. I never meant to hurt you.'
Shakur also brought up an interview Madonna had given, in which she said she would 'rehabilitate all the rappers and baseball players'.
'Those words cut me deep seeing how I had never known you to be with any rappers beside myself,' Shakur wrote.
'It was at this
