Currently on display at the Times Square Visitor Center are various costumes on loan from the Theatre Development Fund Costume Collection.  

The Theatre Development Fund (TDF) Theatre Development Fund (TDF), a not-for-profit organization, has supported live theatre and dance in New York City for the past 43 years. Besides providing discount tickets, either to the public through its ticket booths (TKTS) in Times Square, lower Manhattan and Brooklyn, students, educators and members of the theatre industry, TDF also promotes theatre education and grants to theatrical companies.  

TDF also maintains a Costume Collection which includes more than 75,000 costumes and accessories from Broadway and Off-Broadway productions, opera companies and touring companies. These costumes and accessories are available for rent at low cost primarily to not-for-profit performing arts companies, educational institutions and other charitable groups nationwide. 

I'd love to spend a day amongst the collection!
