Textiles: More Than Words Can Say
Continues until December 15, 2011
Main Level

The Dufferin County Museum & Archives main exhibit for 2011 will feature a wide range of textiles specifically selected from the Museum’s extensive textile collection. Handmade fabrics such as coverlets and woven blankets represent the pioneer period. Examples of Victorian to Contemporary fashion certainly will prove that everything old does become new again. Fashion accessories such as jewelery, fans, and shoes strengthen the exhibit. Quilts and hand hooked rugs represent the skill and artistry of our local residents from 1860 to 1960. For collectors this show is a must see and includes literally thousands of textile and textile-related artifacts.
