Odd that they have a poster from a Highlander movie, showing a ridiculous costume, as part of an Ellis Island exhibit. The whole thing is a bit strange, seeming to suggest that an immigrant would step off the boat at Ellis Island dressed in barbarian furs, or wearing a silk tartan Montrose jacket and lace jabot.
I do like that 19th century-looking tartan dress, which looks like something an immigrant might actually have worn.
