The dazzling costumes from the British hit drama Downton Abbey® are coming to the Taft. Through 36 costumes and accessories, as well as film stills, Dressing Downton™ explores British fashion between 1912 and the early 1920s.
The fictitious Crawley family would have been contemporaries of Charles Phelps Taft and Anna Sinton Taft, who lived in the Taft historic house and assembled the collection that is now the Taft Museum of Art.
