Spring Exhibit
Two Centuries of Fashion
The new rotating exhibit which opened in early April will delight visitors with a nostalgic view of attire worn during a period of two hundred years – from hoop skirts up to today’s fashions. The Sunnyvale Historical Society is grateful to the various donors who made this very special exhibit possible! Donations include the collections from museum volunteer Cindy Cotton ancestors (with some of the oldest pieces on view), the Butcher family, Ida Trubschenck, and the Jain-Case collection. Some pieces on display are on loan from society members or stem from the museum’s own permanent collection.
The exhibit features items of attire such as dresses, ladies’ suits, coats, and hats as well as purses, and some male attire, too. Both formal and daytime wear are included. The majority of the items range from the 1860s to the flapper era.
This exhibit will be on view throughout the spring.
