Clothing reveals us. It communicates who we are, what we do, and what we value.

Adornment & Identity is an interactive exhibition of women’s garments created between 1750 and 2000. Each reflects the design, materials and construction techniques of its time, telling us the story of a past we can use to inform our future.
