First
Exhibit- Walking in the Shoe’s of a …
In the first exhibit (Fall) I chose to group (opposite side of glass class) the
shoes, card case, and in the glass case the assembly gown, 18th
century waistcoat and 19th century waistcoat, day dress, dolman, and
half of the quilt. The reason that I picked these items first was because in
the second exhibit excluding the quilt that is in it everything has to do with
weddings. I thought that viewers can go through the exhibit as a title of
“Walking in the shoes of/at a…” and depending what the object is a person can
relate to it how it fits them.
Examples:
Shoes-
Walking in the shoes of a…Centennial Celebration
Assembly Gown- Walking in the shoes of A..Woman
celebrating the Centennial
19th Century Waist Coat-Walking in the shoes of an
upper class man
Day Dress- Walking in the shoes of a woman an upper class woman
Dolman- Walking in the shoes of a..Single woman- 1884
18th-Century Waistcoat-Walking in the shoes of a
Captain
Exhibit 1
Second Exhibit- Wedding Theme
In the second exhibit (Spring) I
choose to group all the items that had something to do with a wedding. The top
hat, corset, combination of wedding gowns, the 1850’s wedding gown and the
trousseau dress. This would obviously be a wedding theme, along with having the
quilt being there too. In this display however, we would display the entire
quilt.
