Re: Costume exhibition protocols?

[Lynda Hillyer <lyndah@xxxxxxxxx>]

Lara Flecker, costume display specialist in the Victoria and Albert
Museum textile conservation studio, has written a very useful book on
Costume Mounting for the Butterworth/Elsevier Museology series. It
should be published by July of this year.

Hi everyone I'm posting this for Anahid Akasheh. When you reply to the

Does any one have a current guide of the protocols and procedures for
dressing mannequins with period garments? Something that would
distinguish
'dressing' a store mannequin from dressing a period display in a
museum?
