New costume and prop exhibits at Universal Studios Hollywood...

This week I took my regular pilgrimage to Universal Studios Hollywood to check out their latest costume and prop exhibits.

Original movie costumes and props on display

at Universal Studios Hollywood in March 2011

The archivists who maintain the permanent exhibit change the outfits, models and memorabilia around three times a year to keep it looking fresh and to help showcase more recent movies, like Hop, Scott Pilgrim vs The World, Jane Eyre and The Eagle.

In addition to the fantastic movie costumes and props, there was also a great selection of memorabilia from NBC television shows from past and present, like The Munsters and Heroes, along with more from the world of comedy, sci-fi, crime, sports and drama.
