Open Through May 31, 2026  •  Wed – Sun, 12 – 6 pm

Reality TV changed forever in summer 2000, when CBS premiered Survivor. In the series, castaways are stranded in a remote location and tasked with forming a new society, adapting to their surroundings and navigating an unpredictable social game as they compete to claim the title of Sole Survivor and win the $1 million prize. Since then, Survivor has captivated audiences and become one of the most popular and acclaimed shows in television history.

In celebration of Survivor’s landmark 50th season, which premieres on February 25, The Paley Museum in collaboration with CBS, Pluto TV and Amazon MGM Studios is presenting a dynamic, immersive exhibit honoring the iconic reality series. Featuring memorable props, iconic wardrobe pieces, Instagrammable moments including one with the Survivor torch and a seat at the tribal council and original artifacts spanning all fifty seasons, the exhibit offers fans a unique opportunity to relive Survivor’s most unforgettable moments and engage with the show in a whole new way.
