The museum at Bath has a very nice costume library, you can get an "invitation" to get in as I recall. Also, if there's a particular garment or type of garment you'd like to examine up close & in person, you can ask for an appointment. They'll put your treasure out on a table for you to photograph, chart or whatever. Pretty cool! Back in the day, no serious academic credentials were required. Dont know if that's changed in the last few years. --cin Cynthia Barnes cinbar...@gmail.com
From: Hope Greenberg <hope.greenb...@uvm.edu> To: Historical Costume <h-cost...@indra.com> Subject: [h-cost] London calling? Does anyone have any recommendations for things not to be missed in London or Bath for lovers of historic costume? After the V&A, the National Portrait Gallery and the Bath Museum of Costume, that is. Other museums? Best places to buy period-like fabric? Fabric bargain spots? Any and all information gratefully appreciated. - Hope _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
