Sponsored by: Vectren, Dependable Construction & Remodeling, and Corals Galore. Cut From the Same Cloth
From ancient fabrics to the high fashion runways of today, textiles have long allowed people to express both their cultural and individual identities. Discover the history and science behind the development of various textiles, feel fabric samples and compare them to the raw materials they are made from, and view a selection of clothing from cultures around the Earth. Whether created by knitting, weaving or felting, many of the fragile items available for viewing in this exhibition have never been on display. The exhibition will feature a diverse range of artifacts, including: Chinese silk dresses, Japanese kimonos, Native American dresses, Turkmen robes, Peruvian ponchos, African Kente cloth, Indian sarees, and more! Support for this exhibition provided by: John Wolf This special exhibition is internally curated by the Collections Department at the Dayton Society of Natural History. |
