No entry fee, no face masks, and no risks. In a new pandemic-age online exhibition, New York's Brooklyn Museum is displaying costumes from the popular show "The Crown" online, the German News Agency reported.
At thequeenandthecrown.com, visitors walk through the doors of the museum to see and learn about the iconic-period costumes from the popular Netflix show. The exhibition also highlights pieces from the "The Queen's Gambit" miniseries about a chess prodigy.
Curated in collaboration with the streaming service, the exhibition is free of charge until December 13 and is opening just two weeks before "The Crown" heads into its highly anticipated fourth season with the arrival of then Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and Princess Diana.
Opened in 1887, the Brooklyn Museum is New York's second-largest gallery which houses scientific and ethnological collections, as well as art from the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries.
The exhibition comes as the museum was forced to auction off numerous exhibits to raise needed funds following major revenue losses due to reduced visitor numbers during the COVID-19 pandemic.
