Gallery of Costume
Recommended by
Overview
With one of the most comprehensive costume collections in Great Britain, this gallery makes captivating viewing. Housed in a fine Georgian mansion, the displays focus on the changing styles of everyday fashion and accessories over the last 400 years. Contemporary fashion is also illustrated. Because of the vast amount of material in the collection, no one period is permanently illustrated. The Gallery currently has reduced exhibition space because of ground floor renovation work and may close to the public. Please check before visiting.
