Original costumes and props from The Shining on display...

In Stanley Kubrick's disturbing 1980 adaptation of The Stephen King psychological horror novel, The Shining, Jack Nicholson plays a writer who takes a job as a caretaker at an off-season isolated hotel. As the possessed hotel slowly drives him insane, only his son's psychic abilities (known as 'The Shining') can save him and his mother before his father murders them.
