Downton Abbey Exhibit
 
I saw the Downton Abbey exhibit at Winterthur two summers ago and just heard that there is a current one in NYC. Has anyone been to both or know if they are different?

We had one in St Augustine that I went and saw last month. They said our clothing was from before season five and the other exhibit had the clothing from the other seasons. I think the NYC one has more items and clothing. The Lightner museum used items in their collection to recreate the abbey. The beadwork was amazing to see up close. You can understand why they won so many costume awards.

Haven't been to any others, but if you go be forewarned that
altho they advise getting there 15 minutes ahead of time,
make it at least 1/2 hr. due to crowds as they admit too
many at same time

Great videos in the 3 level display.
