What We Wore: An Exhibition of Clothing, Shoes and Hats

Economics, work, play, preference, pleasure, practicality, rites of passage — each of these are reflected in the clothing we wear.  The clothing in our collection was donated for a particular reason – ties to local historical events and people, memories of past fashions and years gone by, clothing marking special occasions. Each item tells us about the past residents of our community – what they valued, what they enjoyed, how they lived.

This temporary exhibit features clothing, shoes, hats and more from the Bulkley Valley Museum’s collection, including never before displayed items.
