Explore one of the nation's most expansive collections of
theatrical costumes, boasting more than 30,000 unique costume pieces.
For nearly 50 years the Guthrie Theater and The Children's Theatre Company have
designed and
constructed intricately detailed, one-of-a-kind costumes for hundreds of
productions. Now their shared warehouse with more than 17,000 square
feet of space
devoted to the preservation of these extraordinary garments is open to
the
public for guided tours. CostumeRentals guides provide information about
a wide
variety of costume materials and their construction, highlighting
individual
pieces from the Guthrie's rich history.
