It is worth seeing the free clothing exhibition. I really like the souvenirs here. There are not many things, but I still bought them.

Very cool exhibits here, and always rotating their selection. From popular brands, such as Guess, to movie costumes.

Went for the House of Gucci exhibit. Their parking lot was closed but parked in a nearby lot. No one from FIDM was there when we went, just two security guards. Small but fun, and free.

One of the great little museums in LA. The annual Oscar fashion exhibit is so much fun and always interesting. And it’s free! Worth a stop if you can make it.

Came here to pass some time while downtown. Its directly on the beautiful FIDM campus. It's really small and straight to the point. Worth a drop in if you have 10-15 minutes to pass by.

What a wonderful surprise to discover such a magnificent display of Costumes incl Games of Thrones! I couldn't stop oohing and ahhing the entire visit! Not only is it free to attend, but the welcome table at the main entrance full of fresh lemonade, popcorn, red vines, and chocolates was a marvelous touch! Def the highlight of my day!

CJ Gahagan 5 stars rating.

Small but interesting collection of costuming - currently primarily focused on television shows. See the work of FIDM alumni in a clean, easy to access environment. Small gift shop and snack shops attached.

Beautiful corner of the FIDM campus. When we visited they had an exhibit of clothing that had been used in current tv shows. Being able to look at them upclose was spectacular. You can really tell how fashion is used not just as an accessory, but how it furthers the story line and tells stories itself. If I had one complaint I would wish that the museum space was bigger.

A small school museum in the heart of downtown Los Angeles. Free admission and a small gift shop make this a great excursion on your trip to downtown. Just blocks from the staples center the FIDM Museum offers fashion and costume exhibitions in a teaching environment. Worth a trip.

I’m still shocked that this is a free exhibit every year. Costumes from the Academy Award nominated films from this year are on display. Incredible to get to see them up close.

I always love the movie costume exhibit at FIDM. This year is no exception. From the Academy Award winning Phantom Thread (they have a video featurette going about the costume process) to Marvel movies, It, and even Fantastic Beasts it's almost to much to look at.

It's nice to see the costumes up close and really get to eye the details. I also enjoy seeing how tall or tiny the actors are. It's such a fun thing to devour to if you're in the Garment District.

The FIDM Museum has two big exhibits a year: one for the Oscars and one for the Emmys. The museum is pretty small but if you're in the area I highly recommend checking both exhibits out! I am not a movie buff and I barely watch television but I enjoy seeing the artistry of the garments. The museum has a small gift shop but they have some pretty neat stuff there and sometimes have discounts on certain things.

The is no parking structure but I've been there a few times on the weekends and have found metered parking nearby.

It is a GREAT place to check out when in DTLA. Beautiful Gallery that displays of Art and Costumes seasonally. You can find amazing gifts (especially for someone that hard to shop for) in the FIDM Museum Shop. A Very Friendly Staff in the Gallery and the Shop, who helps you if you are new to DTLA. I highly recommended making this place one of your stops if you are in Downtown LA.
