Russborough exhibition of Irish films costumes


An exhibition opening at Russborough House next Thursday will explore the central role that costume design plays in cinema storytelling.

Among the collection in The Art of Costume are clothes worn by Marianne and Connell in 'Normal People', Liam Neeson in ‘Michael Collins’ and Brendan Gleeson’s flamboyant silk dressing gown from ‘The Guard’.
The exhibition also includes costumes from the Oscar winning ‘The Favourite’, as well as ‘The Crying Game’, ‘Little Women’, ‘Ripper Street’ and ‘Love and Friendship’, which was filmed in part at Russborough House.
The collection can be seen as part of the House Tour, which can be booked here
The exhibition runs until 16 October.
