DISCOVER OUR
COLLECTION

The Irish Costume Archive Project was initiated to collect, preserve and exhibit Ireland’s film and television design heritage and promote the collections by highlighting their importance as part of our national film culture. Currently the collections consist of costumes from iconic Irish film dating back to the late 1980s. Our aim is to create a digital archive that will be fully accessible through this website.

We also mount exhibitions all over Ireland and collaborate internationally with museums, stately homes, film festivals  and even libraries! Feel free to contact us if you would like to team up with ICAP or to make an appointment to view the physical collection.
