| Summary: | A Dressing the Abbey companion exhibit that employs English language clothing metaphors, idioms, and phrases to interpret Campbell-era personal histories through period-clothing. Spinning a Yarn weaves personal histories and period-clothing together to interpret the social fabric of the Campbell Family’s era. Visitors to Campbell House will follow the threads connecting the Campbells and their contemporaries, unravel the roles that clothing plays in our collective consciousness, and put a spin on individual stories through aesthetically exceptional examples from the MAC’s collection like Meta Dodson’s Embroidered Waterlilies Dress (2988.1). |
