John H. Davey, a passionate collector of Hollywood memorabilia, began collecting in 1998, and has amassed an extraordinary collection of over 3,300 Hollywood-related items, including Western costumes, personal items from legendary movie stars and vintage fashion. Western Costumes from the Silver Screen: The Davey Collection focuses on the Westerns portion of his collection that helped shape Hollywood’s history. This exciting exhibition will feature a curated selection of 24 iconic pieces of clothing and accessories worn by famous actors and actresses in Western films. These rare costumes will be paired with Western movie posters, lobby cards and historical photographs, offering a fascinating glimpse into the golden era of Western cinema. The impressive range of Western costumes worn by film icons include the striped coat worn by John Wayne in “Dakota,” the green dress worn by Elizabeth Taylor in “Giant” and the leather jacket with fur collar worn by Jake Gyllenhaal in “Brokeback Mountain.”

The Booth Museum began collecting photographs in the early 2000s, but the permanent collection and gallery were not formally established until 2017. Today, the museum has over 900 photographs, dating from the nineteenth century to the present. This retrospective will survey the Booth’s photography collecting activity and includes an eclectic array of historical and contemporary imagery by over forty photographers. The art ranges from antique images to contemporary mural-sized panoramas. Together, these images vividly depict the essence of the American West.
