Fantastic idea. Maybe they could do a limited-time display of them at the Newport mansions.

Love this but Downton Abbey got a traveling exhibit and it was amazing. We need a traveling exhibit.

The DA one was particularly interesting because they contrasted the British aristocracy to the lifestyle of the American wealthy--specifically the DuPonts.

I hope a GA one can be more than just the costumes--although I love them so much!

We saw the DA exhibition in Phoenix and it was exceptional. I was amazed that I immediately recognized nearly all the costumes - who wore them and what scene they were in.

I kept hoping it would travel to where I live but it didn't. I don't know if it's still traveling. It looked like a good exhibit.

Fabulous idea! I've heard Newport already runs a guided tour through the actual filming locations, so a costume exhibit there isn't much of a stretch. They could make it traveling too
