Allow at least an hour or more to take in this exhibition. An eclectic selection from Marilyn Monroe's "white dress" to Spiderman.... If you can think of a popular movie, there's sure to be a costume in this display. Well laid out with technology interacting to "tell the story" from some of the designers. To see Audrey Hepburn's petite black... More

Great to see actual costumes, some very famous such as Marilyn Monroe's white dress and other more obscure ones that made me want to see the movie. Lighting was minimal (probably to preserve precious pieces) but generally format of display was very boring. Favorite was Glenn Close's Cruela De Ville.

I attended the Hollywood Costume plus the sound and image exhibitions and found them to be informative and well set out. Good food nearby too.

I had a couple of spare hours in Melbourne waiting for my husband to join me for the June long weekend when I decided to go to this exhibition. I really didn't expect to enjoy it as much as I did. I suggest you go along and spend a pleasant hour or so viewing the great range of costumes. It... More

While waiting to enter the Hollywood Costume exhibition, we killed some time in the kids area. Definitely an area built for entertaining children (and adults alike!) and well worth a visit when in town. Hollywood Costume (on at the moment) is a great exhibition for movie lovers although the way it's structured can make it difficult to get around when... More

Went on a rainy day with the kids aged 10 and 8. A great way to fill an afternoon for FREE! Lots to see and do with hands-on fun. The kids loved the computer games exhibition and could have stayed there all day!

Since this was just located beside federation square, my friends and I checked out this place for some of their exhibition. I felt that the exhibition were a little randomly placed without a proper theme. Was a little confusing and of not much significant for a tourist to spend visiting. My advice: Checked out the other museums such as the... More

Saw the Hollywood Costume Exhibition last weekend and was most impressed. In a well presented and easy to follow display, it was wonderful to see so many costumes from films that I have enjoyed over the years. Well done to all concerned and I hope to see it again before it closes on August 18. We were only in Melbourne... More

Hollywood costumes and 3D/semi-interactive presentation superb. Wish I could have spent longer looking through the permanent features as well.
