madamemodisteThe brand new Ruth and Raymond G. Pearlman building, an expansion of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, has opened!! It's located about a block away, and is home to the new Costume and Textiles exhibit.
"All of the approximately 50 objects on view—from a Neoclassical dress with whitework embroidery from about 1800 to a futuristic T-shirt designed by Belgian artist Walter Van Bierendonck in the 1990s—are part of the Museum’s permanent collection of costume and textiles. Remarkable for their depth and breadth, these holdings currently number more than thirty thousand objects, making the collection one of the largest in the country. Acquired thanks to the generosity of numerous donors both of works of art and of funds for purchases, these recent additions illustrate the continued growth and amazing scope of this valuable public resource."
Who wants to dress up to the nines and go see this new exhibit next Saturday, November 17th?
