Cosprop Exhibitions Department
The Cosprop Exhibitions Department houses the ultimate film and television costume collection. Over 500 costumes that have been worn in the best loved productions by the world’s finest actors and which represent Cosprop’s greatest achievements in terms of technical quality and period accuracy.

These costumes are available for exhibition in museums, galleries, and historic houses and to other responsible exhibitors.

We will work with you to create exactly the exhibition you need. We can create a complete exhibition, or we can supply items to complement exhibits from your own collection. Whatever the constraints of space and budget, we can work within them.

A Cosprop exhibition provides a unique opportunity for the public to see, close up and on open display, the quality of work and lavish detail that goes into the making of costumes that may only be fleetingly glimpsed on the screen.
