About this event

Participants will have a chance to view several antique garments and accessories from private collections.  Items will include late 18th century men's items, Regency and Victorian period gowns, rare shortgown and layette, fans, fishcus, textiles and more.  

This is a hands-free event (which means) you may look but do not touch. Items can be moved  and manipulated for photographs and study by a staff member designated at each station. 

Do you have an item you'd like to share with others?  Let us know!  Any period is allowed! 

NOTE:  Photographs using non-flash camera/phone is allowed. PUBLICATION, POSTING ON SOCIAL MEDIA or USE IN OTHER PRESENTATIONS is NOT ALLOWED without written consent of the item's owner.
