The doors of the Museum will open on a brand new exhibition from October 23. This exhibition traces the making of fashion, how fabrics became clothes made by tailors and seamstresses, before the making of ready-to-wear clothes. By offering visitors a history of fashion through printed fabrics and their patterns, the museum exhibits pieces that show the permanence of certain designs through the evolution of forms and clothing practices.
Open every day except Monday
from 1pm to 6pm
Days of closure :
January 1, May 1, December 25 and December 26.
