Screen-worn Dunkirk film costumes on display...

With the coronavirus raging across America it looks like it will be some time before cinemas and museums reopen, life returns to normal and there are fresh new costume and prop exhibits to share. With that in mind I was looking through my archives the other day and came across these photos of costumes from Christopher Nolan's 2017 war movie Dunkirk on display. The film set during World War II focuses on the Allied troops stranded at the beaches of Dunkirk in Northern France who were being bombarded by German Forces for eight days in 1940 until a ragtag fleet of 800 fishing boats, pleasure crafts, lifeboats and merchant marine boots sailed from England to rescue them.

This quartet of WWII British Army and Air Force costumes worn by Barry Koeghan, Fionn Whitehead, Tom Hardy and Cillian Murphy in the movie were photographed on display at Downtown L.A.'s FIDM Museum & Galleries on February 6, 2018.

Jeffrey Kurland was Costume Designer on the wartime movie and you can see more of his design work with these Tomorrowland movie costumes and these Inception movie costumes.

For more movie wardrobes on display with these costumes be sure to take a closer look at the 26th annual Art of Motion Picture Costume Design exhibition.

Stop-motion animation puppets and sets from Missing Link on display...

In 2019's Golden Globe-winning animated feature Missing Link, Zach Galifianakis voices a Sasquatch named 'Mr. Link' who recruits an explorer named 'Sir Lionel Frost' (Hugh Jackman) to help him find his long-lost Yeti relatives in the fabled valley of Shangri-La. They are joined on their quest by fellow adventurer, 'Adelina Fortnight' (Zoe Saldana), as the trio of explorers travel the world to help their new friend.

The signage with the display says that Adelina's home interior was designed to reflect her free spirit being caged after the death of her husband when she is in mourning, with the vertical stripes of the study's wallpaper and the bird cage reflecting this notion.

Fans of LAIKA Studios can also enjoy these other stop-motion puppets and set exhibits from Coraline, ParaNorman, The Boxtrolls and Kubo and the Two Strings on display.
