Simon Costin is the Director of Britain’s Museum of Witchcraft and Magic as well as the director of the Museum of British Folklore. He has been at the Museum of Witchcraft and Magic for nearly a decade, and the museum itself is celebrating its 70th anniversary this year. Simon is also a world-renowned set designer, who has worked with such luminaries as Alexander McQueen and Tim Walker, as well as clients including Valentino, YSL, Lanvin, Hermes, Coach, Tiffany, and that’s just the tip of the glittering iceberg. His work has also been shown in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the ICA, and many other places, and he was made an Honorary Fellow of the Arts by the University of the Arts London for his outstanding contribution to fashion and design.
On this episode, Simon discusses the odd delights of running a bewitching museum, why to respectfully preserve the energies of supernatural objects, and the gifts of having a life in the arts (dark and otherwise).
Pam also talks about the magic of museums, and answers a listener question about the alleged evils of witchcraft.
