Browse objects in the Costume collection

The Costume collection includes items of men's, women's and children's clothing and accessories from early 17th century to the present day. Items ranging from pieces of international fashion and style significance to those with strong local links are displayed at Brighton Museum & Art Gallery. There is a unique collection of surviving costumes from Les Ballets in 1933. In recent years a subcultural dress collection has been built up together with supporting oral histories and photographs. The textile collection includes holdings of needlework from the mid 17th century, including 18th and 19th samplers.
