Liz,
Are these below at the Air & Space Museum as you stated? We are going to DC
this week and I wanted to make sure to go to the correct location.
There's actually one more - the "Treasures of American History" exhibit at
the Air and Space Museum has Jackie Kennedy's inaugural gown, Sandra Day
O'Connor's judicial robes, a dress of Mary Todd Lincoln's (I can't
remember off the top of my head if that was an inaugural gown, or
another), a dress belonging to Margaret Mead (specially made to
accomodate her changing dress size every time that she went out on her
expeditions), a pair of Marilyn Monroe's gloves (and a pair of Mohammad
Ali's boxing gloves), Andrew Jackson's uniform, an outfit of Ray Charles'
(gold sequins on black - I suspect they figured the brighter jackets that
were on display a year or two ago wouldn't look right in with the other
items on display in that area), George Washington's uniform (dress
uniform, dating from *after* the American Revolution), a (buffalo?) skin
coat belonging to Gen. Custer, a *bunch* of hats dating from the mid 1800s
to present-day... a poofy shirt from "Seinfeld", Mr. Roger's sweater (one
of... reminds me I need to drop the curator a note about that...)..
and currently a wedding kimono that belonged to a Japanese immigrant to
Hawaii.
Hmm... oh, I forgot, the scarecrow costume from the "Wizard of Oz",
Dorothy's red shoes, a *gorgeous* Oscar de la Renta (sp?) gown (can't
imagine painting and attaching all those gold covered feathers!)...
