So if you had 3 months (just to set an arbitrary limit to what you can see
but feel free to ignore any time it might take to travel between
museums/countries) to travel the world and see every costume related museum
you could what would you want to see.
My list: In the UK I'd have to prioritise the V&A, Museum of London, Museum
of Costume in Bath (I missed that when I was in the UK a few years ago) &
National Portrait Gallery (another one I missed on that trip and although
it's not directly costume related I've got to see all those Tudor
portraits). In the USA, The Met in New York (I'm not sure on their costume
collection but I've heard good things about their art collection), Museum of
Fine Arts Boston (if their online collection is anything to go by their
costume collection must be pretty impressive) but that's all I could come up
with off the top of my head, I know there's some good European museums but I
don't know any names.
So let your imagination fly and come up with your own list
