“So right when you come in the exhibit, you’ll see the Johnny Depp costume from Pirates of the Caribbean, for his Captain Jack Sparrow.†The Durham’s Shawna Forsberg recently led me on a tour of the museum’s latest exhibit: Cut! Costume and the Cinema. And the first stop: the ragged jacket, scuffed leather boots and signature black pirate’s hat of Captain Jack.
“What I think is kind of neat about this is he had to have several … costumes made that were similar, because of all the action that was involved in that film,†Forsberg said. “He was jumping in the water, and all the different, crazy things he did in that film.â€

The traveling exhibit is a collection of 43 costumes created – and borrowed – by the London costume house Cosprop, one of the most prestigious costume design shops in the industry. Forsberg said the exhibit highlights the intricacy and skilled craftsmanship of the work, as well as the evolution of clothing design.
In fact, it covers five centuries of fashion, and includes actress Keira Knightley’s intricately woven dress from the 2008 film The Duchess, which is set in the 18th century. Forsberg said women during that time period made up for their diminutive public status with eye-catching attire.
“They really tried to expand their form,” she said. “They would have really wide skirting, very tall and opulent hair, and very ornate clothing so that they had quite a presence when they walked into a room.â€
Cut! Costume and the Cinema opened Dec. 3rd at the Durham Museum.
