Behind the Scenes

Explore dress history, from Jane Austen up to the First World War.

This special display – situated about half way through a visit to the Fashion Museum – showcases one hundred years of fashion, from snowy white embroidered muslins of Regency times through to silks and satins of the later Edwardian period.

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.
