Downton Abbey
The costumes from the Downton Abbey TV series have been one of Winterthur's most popular exhibitions. It continues through January 4, 2015, which happens to be when Season 5 begins here. I will admit right up front that I lost interest in the TV series after the second season when PBS started running it past 10:00! But I have kept up with the buzz about it from time to time whenever people have commented about the show on Susan Branch's website. I know that I have several readers of my Blog who love Downton Abbey, so this post is for you.
I hope you will enjoy this brief tour. I did not capture every costume or every sign. There were too many people in the way at the beginning of the exhibit to get good photos, and I neglected to go back later because of my gift shop "adventure" at the end. So, you might enjoy reading these articles by others who have visited the exhibit for more information: Washington Post; Smithsonian; Huffington Post; and this is an interview with Maggie Lidz, one of the three co-curators of the exhibit. Note: To make the photos larger, click on them.
