Fleurs de Villes: Downton Abbey, a one-of-a-kind floral art exhibit coming to 900 Shops

This spring, step into the world of Downton Abbey like never before—through flowers. From May 21–25, the 900 North Michigan Shops presents Fleurs de Villes: DOWNTON ABBEY, a one-of-a-kind floral art exhibit that blends period drama with botanical brilliance.

Taking over the six-story shopping destination on the Magnificent Mile, this immersive showcase reimagines the beloved world of Downton Abbey through floral couture displays, each adorned in breathtaking, fresh blooms. Designed by top Chicago florists, the display brings iconic characters and moments from the show to life—crafted entirely from flowers.

Guests will be transported to early 20th-century England, where petals take the place of pearls and blossoms stand in for ballgowns. From Lady Mary’s refined elegance to the Dowager Countess’s commanding style, each floral installation captures the spirit of the characters fans know and love—with a fragrant twist.

This Chicago exhibit is part of the Fleurs de Villes global tour, which brings fresh flower storytelling to cities across the U.S., Canada, and the U.K. The 900 Shops edition marks the Chicago premiere of the Downton Abbey theme, making it a must-see for fans of the series, fashion, florals, and immersive art.

Admission is free, making this an accessible and unforgettable outing for families, floral enthusiasts, and lovers of period drama.

So put on your finest (or your comfiest) and head to 900 North Michigan Avenue this May. Whether you come for the flowers, the fashion, or a little bit of aristocratic fantasy, Fleurs de Villes: DOWNTON ABBEY promises to be a blooming good time.
