Exhibits


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.
