Costume Exhibit running regularly in LA

Arclight Cinema's Costume Exhibits

The Arclight Cinemas in Hollywood and Sherman Oaks  put up rotating displays of movie costumes and props from films they are currently showing.  The Arclight's website does not keep the costumes listed on the website... but if you sign up for their newsletter they often mention which costumes are there.... sometimes. 

Costumes are normally only there for a few weeks... but you get a close up look of some of the hottest media costumes out there.... and they allow photographs!   (Yea!)  Lighting varies from OK to really lousy.  Sometimes they are in cases, but some are not.  It's well worth bringing a small still cam that likes low light for some great one-time-chance shots.

bulletPlease share any pics with the whole group over on F-Costume .
bulletCheck out our pictures of other Arclight costume exhibits
