From corsets and crinolines to bustles and bust improvers, as well as a union suit or two, the Henry has an impressive and curious collection of undergarments. Come see what covered, and what revealed, the body from the 1760s to the 1970s, and discuss how these items shaped the body and reflected society’s views of it.
Re/frame is a recurring program that delves into the Henry's extensive collection, highlighting a different group of objects each month. Join us for group discussions and the opportunity to see art rarely on public view.
