FASHION FANCIES: TEXTILES FROM THE MOON COLLECTION

DCC PERMANENT COLLECTION

Curated by Dunja Rmandic, Curator of Collections Devonport Regional Gallery

Guest Speaker Gerard Vaughan, Professor Australian Institute of Art History

 

The annual Permanent Collection exhibition showcased the Gallery’s Moon Collection of textiles. Acquired in the early 1980s, the collection of fine silk and lace garments, as well as Christening gowns, attests to the beauty and sentimentality of cloth intended for both everyday use and formal occasions.
