Sequins & Sparkles, a fashion exhibition

Runs until the end of February 2026.

Enter a world of shimmering glamour with ‘Sequins and Sparkles’, an exhibition that brings together a collection of fashion from the 20th century. This display features a striking array of garments made of fabrics with metallic threads, adorned with sequins and beads. A selection of dazzling 19th-20th century jewellery and accessories completes the sparkle.

View two sensational 1920s party dresses that have just returned from a textile conservation studio.

Discover the power of light and reflection through these stunning pieces, where each sequin tells its own story, and every sparkle invites you to shine.
