Can you imagine seeing up close the costumes and props that were once part of a movie? “La piel de las películas” is an exhibition at Estudios Churubusco that recovers original objects used in various productions and takes them off the sets to give them a second life.
This free, permanent exhibition is located in Bodega A and brings together pieces that are part of the history of filmmaking. Here you’ll find everything from costumes and props to furniture and other objects that helped bring characters, settings, and worlds to life on screen.
The exhibition aims to bring the public closer to those physical elements that are essential to telling a story, but that often go unnoticed when we watch the final product in the theater.

Among the original pieces in *La piel de las películas* are objects used in productions such as *Hidalgo*, *Morelos*, *El viaje de Teo*, *Obediencia perfecta*, *Macho*, and *Cadena perpetua*.

The venue also adds context to the experience: the exhibition is located within Estudios Churubusco itself, a space closely tied to film production in Mexico.
