Broadway Costumes Up Close in a Times Square Museum
Walk past embroidered doublets, feathered showgirl gowns, and a wall of flying script pages in the theater district.
🎭 Backstage Wardrobe
The Museum of Broadway fills a building on West 45th Street, steps from the theaters it celebrates. Galleries walk visitors through the history of the Great White Way, one era of shows at a time.
The costumes steal the scene. An embroidered red doublet glints under spotlights, gold mannequins model beaded tops and feathered skirts, and one room buries its walls in hundreds of curling script pages that seem to spill toward the ceiling. Reviewers rate it 4.8 across 1891 visits.
It works as a stop before a matinee, a rainy afternoon plan, or a gift for a theater fan in Times Square.
