I am glad you posted the pictures since I live too far to come see the exhibit. What a great exhibit for movie and Oscar fans.

beautiful exhibit. There was a handout avialable that gave a description of each film with comments by the designers. Is there a possibility that can be posted/ or can I get a copy of the descriptions.
I’ll see what I can do about getting you a copy of the exhibit handout. Glad you enjoyed the exhibit!
Fantastic exhibit this year … just told my movie group it’s a must see!
I took some friends through it today, but we missed the handout which is chock full of fascinating background on the costumes. I would love to send them an electronic copy if you can make it available … have searched the web and found nothing there.
Laurie, thanks for your kind words about the exhibit! I’ll email you the handout later today.
Hello, Great exhibit! Will this exhibit be coming to the San Francisco FIDM campus?
Hi Sara,
Thanks! Glad to hear you like the exhibit. At this time we don’t have plans to bring it to the FIDM San Francisco campus. I’ll let you know if this changes!
