Excited for Anchorman 2? Then you might want to check out "Anchorman: The Exhibit," at the Newseum in Washington, D.C.

Starting Thursday, Nov. 14, the Anchorman exhibit, featuring props, costumes and footage from the comedy classic "Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy," will be open. The museum exhibit iopens just a few weeks before the Dec. 20 release of the sequel "Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues."

Visitors to the exhibit will first see an 8-foot-tall revolving display case featuring the iconic burgundy business suit worn by fictional newscaster Ron Burgundy, played by Will Ferrell. The museum also include 60 other costumes and hilarious props from the film, including Ron's "I'M #1" license plate, jazz flute and mustache brush.

Other costumes include suits worn by reporter Veronica Corningstone (played by Christina Applegate) and sports anchor Champ Kind (played by David Koechner) and the Sex Panther cologne used by reporter Brian Fantana (played by Paul Rudd). There is a stuffed prop version of Ron's dog Baxter, wearing Channel 4 pajamas, and the eyeglasses worn by weatherman Brick Tamland (played by Steve Carell) on display.

Anchorman is about a 1970's news team which reacts to a new female reporter that aims to take the anchor chair. The exhibit explores the reality behind the humor of "Anchorman," and tells the story of the challenges women faced when they arrived in newsrooms.

The exhibit also features interviews from real 1970s new anchors like Connie Chung, Maury Povich and Melba Tolliver and news executive Al Primo, who brought female reporters to Eyewitness News. There will also be 1970s commercials and photos of popular 1970s news teams.

For the arrival of the Anchorman sequel, the Newseum will host two events featuring stars from the "Anchorman" films. Will Ferrell will be at the Newseum for an invitation-only event on Dec. 3 to talk about the sequel. On Dec. 17, actor David Koechner, who stars as Champ Kind in both "Anchorman" movies, will make a special appearance at an advance screening of the new movie. The tickets to the screening are sold out, however costumes and props from the sequel will also be unveiled on that day.

Visitors can participate in the Be a TV Reporter experience which replicates the Channel 4 newsroom and allows guests to act as a reporter or take photos behind the desk.

The Anchorman exhibit will be on display until Aug. 31, 2014.
