About the Exhibition

Local collector C. Robert Weisfeld has been intrigued with Hollywood memorabilia for more than three decades, acquiring clothing, shoes, accessories, photographs and print materials from stars of the grand era of film, the 1930s, 40s and 50s.

Objects featured in the exhibition include both personal items of the stars, public objects – costumes, scripts and contracts – from the movies, television shows and public appearances they made, and purchased objects – everything from fan buttons to refrigerator magnets – created by the studios for the public.
