The art of the dress impresses. 100 years of fashion exhibition a big hit

A major fashion exhibition is proving a big hit at Kirkleatham Museum.

Presented by the History Wardrobe Collection, the exhibition opened in March and has been a big hit and will run until 22 September.

Joanne Hodgson, Museum Manager, said: 

“We’ve had a lot of compliments about this one. It’s not just about enjoying the amazing dresses and fashions for their own sake – although it very much is that – but it tells us a lot about how we’ve changed as a society through the decades.”

Entry is free. The museum is closed on Mondays. Find out more here Enjoy (redcarcleveland.co.uk)
