The Children's Museum has actively collected textiles since its founding in the 1920's. Today this collection includes almost 9,000 objects that include adult and children's clothing as well as household and ceremonial textiles from all over the world. This incredibly diverse collection includes wedding gowns and Halloween costumes, opera capes and cowboy chaps, feathered parkas, silk kimonos and even a headdress made from beetle wings! Watch This Week's WOW to learn more about the unique objects and read our blog to find out about a new grant we received to preserve them: http://www.childrensmuseum.org/blog/childrens-museum/this-weeks-wow-textiles-collection
