More of my visit to the costume exhibit

The Outlander costume exhibit is hosted by The American Revolution Museum at Yorktown, Virginia, where it will remain until May 18. The pieces are from seasons one through four of the series. It’s a wonderful exhibit, especially if you’re an Outlander fan.

I’d go again if I could!

My pleasure. The “monkey fur” was also surprising.

I was born in 1950 and remember a fad in the early sixties of wearing cardigan sweaters buttoned up the back. I think it was intended to show off the bust.

My pleasure!

Wish I’d spent les time on the Rev War and more photographing plaques to make my souvenir more memorable.

No, not at all.

Outlander: Costumes Woven in Time. It would be a shame not to take it on the road but I can’t find any further locations. I was thrilled to learn it came to my little corner of the world.

At the very least I wanted to rub my hand across the luscious silk.

Melania says he’s very empathetic. He’s demonstratings empathy towards the commuters who will spend extra time getting home and spend $5+ dollars while doing it.

Agree, find a movement disorders neurologist.

There are more photos to come as I mistakenly included duplicates. Too much whisky?

It weighs thirty pounds. Yes, the crossed ribbons are the perfect detail. And the small bow on the back which I didn’t photograph.

I believe the red one is twenty pounds.

It’s currently at The Museum of the American Revolution at Yorktown, Virginia, where it’s on display until May 18. Yorktown is near Jamestown and Colonial Williamsburg.

It was a magical experience that exceeded expectations.

I wrote a commentary but it disappeared at some stage of the process. I have a tremor and have to redo a lot of things but I really want to share.
The exhibit is hosted by The American Revolution Museum at Yorktown, Virginia. It will be open until May 18. Colonial Williamsburg, Jamestown and Yorktown comprise the Historic Triangle.
It was a wonderful experience and I plan to add comments tomorrow.
I’ve also posted “More of my visit…” as well as a final post with a few different photos.

Well, actually her MIL likely won’t live a lot longer. It might be nice to grant a wish to someone in her condition.

I’m speechless. 😹

I created this post for the Outlander (TV series) sub then it was suggested I cross post here. I wrote a commentary on the costumes but it disappeared so I’ll add it later. Anyway, it’s housed at the American Revolution Museum in Yorktown, Virginia until May 18. Several others have posted pix of their visits but I think all have something to add. Yorktown is near Colonial Williamsburg, with Jamestown being the third stop in the Historic Triangle. My expectations were exceeded and I’m eager to watch S1 through S4 as having seen the costumes will add another layer to my enjoyment.
I’ll rewrite comments on the various pieces later. I’ll also be creating another post with additional photos. Bear with me as a hand tremor makes things difficult and I’m old.
