Costumes from the Golden Age of Hollywood
Take a step back in time to the glitz and glamour of Julie Andrews, Fred Astaire, Grace Kelly and more.
Overview
Everyone has something they collect – be it records, retro video games or vintage typewriters. For Brisbane resident Nicholas Inglis, his area of fascination is Hollywood memorabilia. Over nearly two decades, he has amassed an array of coveted items spanning from the 1920s to the 1960s. Now he's sharing them with the city.
Inglis' extensive range includes movie costumes and associated paraphernalia worn by a parade of famous name including Julie Andrews, Fred Astaire, Marlon Brando, Judy Garland, Grace Kelly, Elizabeth Taylor, Lana Turner and Barbra Streisand. Indeed, his collection is so large that the Museum of Brisbane’s Costumes from the Golden Age of Hollywood exhibition is sourced solely from his private stores.
In a Brisbane exclusive, the finery of film history is on display in Australia for the first time. Stepping into a time of unparalleled glitz and glamour, this sartorial celebration presents a carefully curated selection of nearly 70 costumes, dozens of accessories and props, and hundreds of photographs.
