Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries Costume Exhibition

Overview

Miss Phryne Fisher might be known for solving mysteries; however from July 15 to September 4, her sleuthing skills aren't required. Trying to unravel the hidden truth behind the character's gorgeous attire is futile. As Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries Costume Exhibition at Old Government House makes plain, their artistry speaks for itself.

Everything that made season three of the ABC TV series sparkle with 1920s glamour will be on display, including both outfits and props. As a result, so will the award-winning work of costume designer Marion Boyce. Of course, Miss Fisher came to the page courtesy of Australian author Kerry Greenwood — and then to the screen in the guise of actress Essie Davis — but the important efforts of the woman responsible for her stylish look can't be underestimated.

As well as showcasing sartorial delights, the Miss Fisher-focused season will also offer up a selection of special events, talks, tours and workshops. Whether you head along to the free lawn party, kick up your heels at the pop-up speakeasy bar, contemplate Brisbane's art deco history or learn about making flapper headbands, just make sure that you dress for the occasion — if there's an exhibition that you'll want to look your best at, it's this one.
