What to expect
Many visitors say a visit to the Museum of Costume Jewelry feels less like a museum tour and more like stepping into someone's personal archive of fashion history, because it is.
Before you go, linger a little longer. Our Learning Center houses a library of more than 300 books on jewelry, fashion, and design, perfect for exploring the stories behind the pieces you've just seen. Then stop by the gift shop, where vintage costume jewelry, contemporary designer pieces, and fashion books make it easy to take a little sparkle home.
