“The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” has been nominated for 20 Emmy Awards this year, and Amazon is celebrating the creative genius of the artists responsible for bringing the show’s 1950s milieu to life with a virtual interactive exhibit called “From Sketch to Screen: Making Maisel Marvelous.”

Divided into chapters, the site’s video, drawings, photographs, music, and memorable lines of dialogue from the show provide insight into the creative and production processes that earned Emmy nominations for costume designer Donna Zakowska, production designer Bill Groom and directors Amy Sherman-Palladino and Daniel Palladino.

The interactive site will be available here through Aug. 31.
