Museum of Costume

Bath’s internationally acclaimed Museum of Costume is now re-branded as The Fashion Museum. With contemporary selections including the work of designers like Alexander McQueen, Mary Quant, Giorgio Armani and John Galliano the new name reflects the fact that the museum details costume and fashion from the late 16th Century right up to the present day.The changing nature of styles, not just for women, but also for children and men is excellently illustrated by dressed figures and displays of fashion accessories. The delicate stitching, varied textures and delightful colours of the fabrics are all things to be marvelled at.
