Les Miserables Costume and Props Exhibition

 Today my Mother was lovely enough to take us over to Portsmouth to see the Les Miserable Exhibition  at the Mary Rose in Portsmouth. The beginning scenes from Les Mis were filmed in Portsmouth Historic Dockyard with HMS Victory and Portsmouth Naval Base both being used as locations in the film.

Costumes designed by Paco Delgado and worn by the main actors and actresses as well as the extras were on display in the exhibition. Seeing the costumes in the film is great but there is something special about seeing the costumes in the flesh that encourages you to really appreciate the fabrics, colours and amount of detail that goes into every costume. Well worth a visit!
