October 1, 2014: Superman Movie Costumes on Display in Hollywood Exhibition

From tomorrow until March 2, 2015, the Victoria and Albert Museum, London and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences will present the final showing of the groundbreaking multimedia exhibition Hollywood Costume in the historic Wilshire May Company building, the future location of the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures, at Wilshire Boulevard and Fairfax Avenue in Los Angeles. Organized by the Victoria and Albert Museum, London (V&A), and sponsored by Swarovski, this ticketed exhibition explores the central role of costume design - from the glamorous to the very subtle - as an essential tool of cinematic storytelling.

A Superman costume worn by Christopher Reeve and the "Man of Steel" costume worn by Henry Cavill are amongst many movie superhero costumes on display.

Costumes The Academy is enhancing the V&A's exhibition and will include more than 150 costumes. The Academy's presentation will add more than 40 costumes to this landmark show. On view October 2, 2014, through March 2, 2015, the innovative exhibition takes visitors on a non-chronological, four-gallery journey that tells the story of costume design from early Charlie Chaplin (The Tramp, 1912) to Man of Steel (James Acheson and Michael Wilkinson, 2013). Hollywood Costume includes montages, animation, film clips, and projections, supported by a specially commissioned score written by British composer Julian Scott. The clothes are exhibited alongside quotes and interviews with costume designers, directors, and actors discussing the role that costume plays in creating the characters on screen.

Tickets are available at www.oscars.org/HollywoodCostume. Advance booking advised. Admission: $20 Adults, $15 Seniors (62+), $10 for students with ID and children under 13.

The Hollywood Costume exhibition is on at the Wilshire May Company building, located at 6067 Wilshire Boulevard, Los Angeles.
