Curator Talk: Ashes to Fashion

In 1976, the Ulster Museum’s collection of dress and textiles was almost completely destroyed due to a firebomb attack on the building in which it was then stored – Malone House.  

Join Ashes to Fashion Curator Charlotte McReynolds for a tour of this major fashion exhibition and find out exactly how the collection was rebuilt, from scratch. This tour will give behind the scenes details on how this exhibition came to life, provide insight into some of the most important textiles and designer garments on display, and explain what the Ulster Museum is doing today to celebrate both historic and contemporary fashion. 

Don’t miss this chance to find out how the Ulster Museum’s collection went from ashes…to fashion! 

This tour is suitable for all ages and children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult. 

Ticket includes access to Ashes to Fashion exhibition.
