Milena Canonero and Ulla-Britt Söderland shared the Oscar for Best Costume Design on Barry Lyndon and these 18th Century period costumes from the film were photographed on display at the Stanley Kubrick exhibition at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) on January 10, 2013.

It's always a pleasure to be able to see movie costumes up close, especially when they are not surrounded by a display case.

Many of the costumes used in Barry Lyndon were genuine antique clothes, whilst other were custom-made for the film based on clothing represented in period paintings. Milena Canonero drew inspiration for the scenes in England from such works by Thomas Gainsborough and Joshua Reynolds, whilst for the movie's candlelit scenes the Italian designer was influenced by the German painter Adolph Menzel.
