The History Museum of Mobile is set to open its newest exhibit “Dressing the Abbey” -- featuring 35 costumes worn by the actors in the TV series “Downton Abbey.” FOX 10′s Lee Peck got a sneak peek of the exhibit and also a rare behind the scenes look at the museum’s vault, where they store their collection.
“The vault is where 99% of the museum’s collection is housed,” explained Dr. Meg McCrummen Fowler, History Museum of Mobile Director. “So the museum’s collection has 117,000 objects -- only about 1% are on permanent display.”
The oldest piece -- a mastodon vertebrae more than 10,000 years old. It’s all stored in a special space designed for climate control. “Beautiful dresses but we’ve got some others for people to see,” said Fowler. “We decided after careful thought -- they were not right for the exhibit. It’s all a circular process.”
The attention to detail is impressive -- we even got a glimps of an old wedding dress -- just one of many at the museum.
