How interesting!

I was just doing an online search for Museums with costumes collections, for a reason I'll get back to, and I found out where the little mantua is going. It's "La Musee de Modes et de la Costume" at the Palais Galliera, in Paris. It is an exhibition called, I think , "Modes in the Mirror" - fashions of the time of Louis XVl, I think - certainly

I only know of the fabulous art collections of the Prado and the Thyssen Borne collections.

Oh! I take it you will be visiting the Galleria then?:)

I plan to, if I can take the time - it is so easy just to hop on Eurostar!! I only live ten minutes from the London terminal! I have been visiting Paris since 1972, and keep finding the bit I want to visit is shut. Tried visitng the Palace at Versailles - finally made it at the fourth attempt! This will be my second attempt at teh Galliera!

I've been to that museum! It wasn't huge, but it was fun. When I went it was a lot of 20th century stuff on view, but the 18c stuff sounds like so much more fun! Definitely still my favorite era. :)
