Behind the Scenes

This special display has been refreshed for 2015 and showcases one hundred years of fashion, from snowy white embroidered muslins from the time of Jane Austen through to crinolines and crinolettes to the new column-like shape of dresses from the time of the First World War. The display includes an original dress worn by Queen Victoria. “Behind the Scenes” blurs the traditional museum boundaries between collections on display and those held in store. The gallery is, in fact, the museum store, and the original fashions are presented against a backdrop of collection storage boxes.
