A really good visit. We also saw one of the Founders of the Museum fetching in supplies, a really nice person. The kids were energised and wanted to leave but I wished I had talk about his journey more.
The displays change. Lots of fashion books for purchase. Includes history of sewing machines in Hamilton area. Old videos. Top French, Italian etc fashion design history and shoes.
Such an interesting place to see the original clothing of a certain era. They change their exhibit after so many months, so it's very nice to visit more than once a year. Also they have very unique events as fundraisers. We went to the most interesting Victoria high tea, in celebration of Queen Victoria.
It was worth the drive from Toronto. Carefully curated collections in a charming building with a delightful host. A great experience all around!
A gem of a museum. Each piece was described in very readable English and explained its place and influence in history. Not a large venue so not much walking. My friend and I who live in this region were so surprised yo find this hidden jewel. Also the downtown it is located in has been delightfully renewed. I felt like I was in a foreign country-in a good way. There is an excellent non-chain cafe a few blocks away.
