Bourgeois Pride and Princely Splendour Costumes from the Sixteenth to Eighteenth Century 20th April
to 2nd November 2008 |
|
The Abegg-Stiftung is
planning an exhibition of important historic costumes
from the collections of the Hessisches Landesmuseum
Darmstadt and the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden in
Germany. The exhibition will show a group of around
twenty bourgeois costumes from the seventeenth century,
which originally belonged to families in Cologne and
later came to Darmstadt with the collection of Baron von
Hüpsch. A smaller number of womens costumes from
the late eighteenth century complements this group. The second part of the exhibition presents a costume of the Elector Moritz of Saxony, datable to the first half of the sixteenth century, from the collection of the Dresden Rüstkammer. All of the costumes were examined and conserved in the conservation workshop of the Abegg-Stiftung over the last few years. The results of this research will be presented in a richly illustrated catalogue. |
