N. B. We recommend that you familiarise yourself with collection prior to booking. The general condition of our collection, (props and costumes) is entirely consistent with use and purpose. In many cases, a distressed appearance is what gives these props their sense of realism, allowing us to suspend our belief. This aged patina is achieved by the prop-maker and accentuated by lighting on set or CGI. For the most part, these items were not created for close scrutiny nor ironically, for display. Although movie props and costumes may not look as slick as they can appear on screen, it is this very quality which make this such a fascinating and seductive exhibition. It’s a behind the scenes look at a unique part of movie making history.
