Downton Abbey Exhibit at Winterthur

At Winterthur in Delaware, one can visit the Downton Abbey exhibit from now through January 4, 2015. Tickets are limited, and timed, so advance purchase is recommended.
The thrust of this exhibit is the similarity of the fictional Grantham family living in Downton Abbey shown on PBS, to the very real family of DuPonts, who lived in Winterthur, which is now a museum.
