These profiles are largely featured in the exhibition’s “Great Hall of Character Stories”—an interactive hallway where you can get better acquainted with those associated with Downton Abbey.

22 days of installation

While plans to bring this exhibition to Biltmore began long before, it took the better part of a month to prepare the infrastructure and physically install the exhibition in its entirety.

I visited the downtown abbey exhibition and it is incredible! Would highly recommend. My husband did not watch the show but totally enjoyed the exhibition.

Thank you, Joanne! We’re delighted that you enjoyed the Downton Abbey exhibition, and that your husband did, as well–even without being a fan of the show!
