DOWNTON ABBEY: The Exhibition Launches Exclusive July Speaker Series

The first-ever fully immersive experience set inside the world of Carnival Film's multi award-winning global television phenomenon, Downton Abbey: The Exhibition connects fans with their favorite characters, costumes, locations and historic events of the era, and showcases never-before-seen footage.

Visitors will be transported on an incredible journey through the grand home of DOWNTON ABBEY as the exhibition peers into the world of the Crawleys and those that served them below stairs. From Mrs. Patmore's hectic kitchen and the gossip-fuelled servants' quarters, to the family's glamorous dining room and Lady Mary's bedroom, fans will get the chance to walk through some of the series' most recognizable and beloved sets and come up-close to over 50 of the show's official costumes worn by their favorite actors. The Exhibition provides a fascinating look at all aspects of the post-Edwardian period in which the popular TV series is set and offers an in-depth insight into the remarkable historic events which would go on to shape the world. From World War I to the Roaring Twenties, visitors have the chance to learn about British society, culture and fashion.

WHO: Style Expert Anne Chertoff and Royal Etiquette Expert Myka Meier, of Beaumont Etiquette, will return to Downton Abbey: The Exhibition in July to deliver a series of exclusive talks. From learning about the American Buccaneers to Post Edwardian Fashion to Proper dining etiquette, visitors will get a front row seat to learn even more about the time period and happenings that influenced Downton Abbey. Anne Chertoff will kick off the series Wednesday, July 11th.

This will mark Anne and Myka's second installment of talks, following their exclusive Royal Wedding themed series at the exhibition in May 2018. The series will offer both fans of the award-winning global television phenomenon, and anglophiles, a front row seat to learn even more about British lifestyle and culture.
