Curatorial context

The Museo del Traje presents 'Exodus: dioses y reyes', an exhibition that delves into the world of film costume design through a display of 40 costumes from Ridley Scott's epic film. Collaborating with Hispano Foxfilm and Sastrería Cornejo, the museum showcases the creations of Janty Yates, an Oscar-winning costume designer. The exhibition is structured to guide visitors through the socio-economic strata of ancient Egypt around 1300 BC, featuring attire for Hittites, Egyptians, Nubians, Moses' army, the Egyptian court, and other societal groups. The creation of these 5000 costumes for the film involved extensive research and presented significant challenges, especially given the limited graphic references available for the period. The exhibition aims to illuminate the fundamental role of costume design in cinema, detailing the creative process and the complexities of accurately recreating historical fashion.
