YORK
Whether their favorite characters lived upstairs or downstairs in Crawley manor, “Downton Abbey: The Exhibition” allows visitors to get a firsthand look into the PBS Masterpiece smash hit, which wrapped up its final season in 2016. The exhibition, which opened in Singapore last summer, made its North American debut in November in New York City. NBCUniversal International Studios extended the run through April 2 due to popular demand. Organizers expect it will travel, but locations have not yet been announced. The period costumes are front and center in the exhibits. Visitors will also see sets, such as the dining room, the kitchen and Lady Mary Crawley’s boudoir, and learn about post-Edwardian English culture and social history. W W W.

Scorsese opened his personal archive for “Martin Scorsese: The Exhibition,” the first international exhibition devoted to his work, which debuted in 2013 at Deutsche Kinemathek — Museum für Film und Fernsehen in Berlin. It will open March 22 at MARCO (Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Monterrey) in Monterrey, Mexico, where it will run through July 15. The exhibition explores the central setting of most of his films: New York City, particularly the Little Italy neighborhood where Scorsese grew up. Exhibits also explore his work as a film connoisseur and preservationist and his directorial aesthetics and techniques. Visitors will see storyboard sketches, props from films such as “Raging Bull,” costumes worn by Robert De Niro and Leonardo DiCaprio, and historic film posters from Scorsese’s private collection.
