The exhibit is thoughtfully organized around three concurrent themes that unravel the narrative behind the costumes. By presenting these garments in a setting reminiscent of a soundstage, visitors can engage with the costumes as if they were part of an active film production. This unique display method challenges the conventional approach to costume exhibitions by placing emphasis on the context in which these outfits were originally intended to be seen. The carefully curated layout of the exhibit encourages exploration and discovery, making each visit a unique experience that appeals to film enthusiasts, fashion lovers, and art aficionados alike.
