“Real to Reel takes museum visitors behind the scenes of one of the most famous films in Hollywood history,” Katie Edwards, who helped curate the exhibit, said in a press release. “Through costume sketches, scene storyboards, letters and other items, the exhibit highlights the many tasks and challenges, as well as the controversy, involved in this major production.”
In addition to Leigh's award, there will be more than 120 items including costumes, screen tests, scene props, a script and more. One of the notable costumes on display is Scarlett's dress from the attack on Shantytown scene.
The Museum of History is the only venue in the Southeast to feature the exhibit.
"Real to Reel" opens Friday, Aug. 31 and runs through Jan. 13.
