Don't forget the Historic Costume & Textile Museum at Kent State University in the USA. Patty

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 Elizabeth -------------------------------------------- Elizabeth Walpole Canberra Australia ewalpole[at]tpg.com.au http://au.geocities.com/amiperiodornot/ _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
