Kaleidoscope: Antique quilts from the collection of Carole and Howard Tanenbaum
23.09.2009 – 21.03.2010
Textile Museum of Canada, Toronto, Canada

The exhibited quilts were made in the United States, Canada and England, mostly during the 19th century. They were used as bedding, as lap robes and slumber throws, and as fancy piano covers in Victorian parlours. The social messages they carried when they were made – who made them and why, for whom and under what circumstances – – have evaporated, leaving behind elaborate kaleidoscopes of colour.

Through vision and uncompromising standards, the series led rather than followed and helped to blur the boundaries between art and fashion.

Vejle Museum har lige åbnet ny temaudstilling om L.P. Hansens Farve- og Renseri 1881-1972, hvor sønnen, Ejnar Hansen, blev landskendt for sit store arbejde med at skabe smukt afstemte farveskalaer til brug for kunsthåndværkere, skoler og institutioner.

”Tøj på kroppen” er en onlineudstilling, der på en helt ny måde præsenter en unik samling af 250 års dragter fra Kulturhistorisk Museum Randers. Onlineudstillingen ikke alene fortæller modens historie gennem de sidste 250 år, men giver også et billede af den udvikling, samfundet generelt har været igennem.

De Danske Kongers Kronologiske Samling
Kongedragter.dk

Er en web-udstilling hvor man kan opleve og udforske en dragt fra hver af de 16 danske regenter. Fra Kong Frederik d. 2. til Dronning Margrethe d. 2.

Der er information om bla. dragternes historie, konstruktion, konservering og snittegninger. Man kan dreje dragterne og zoome ind på detaljer. Eller vinde medaljer og pokaler i spillene.

www.kongedragter.dk

"Tidens Tøj" er en internetudstilling, som bygger på Nationalmuseets modedragtudstilling "Krop og Forklædning".

Den virtuelle udstilling skildrer modedragtens kulturhistorie i Danmark fra 1700-tallet til 1980'erne. De dragter, der er med i udstillingen, er alle kendetegnet ved, at de har været brugt af mennesker, der har boet i Danmark. "Tidens Tøj" giver oplysninger om den enkelte dragt, sætter dragten ind i en modehistorisk og kulturhistorisk sammenhæng og fortæller om den tid, dragten blev båret i, og så vidt muligt også om ejeren.

Farverens lærlig (besøg websitet)

Internetbaseret undervisnings materiale i forbindelse med udstillingen af samme navn, hvor du kan komme i lære hos farveren i Ebeltofts gamle farvergård og hos L.P. Hansens Farveri i Vejle. Hvis du følger med rundt i ”Farverens lærling” kan du lære om farveemner: Vegetabilske samt kemiske farver. Du lærer om farveprocesser og at indsamle planter. Og så vil du opdage, at farverne har en spændende historie, der begynder helt tilbage i oldtiden, hvor folkene omkring Middelhavet farvede rødt med purpursneglen.

This site is all about period costume, from the Middle Ages up to the early 20th century. Access 4000 costume pictures through a database, read one of hundreds of articles, or download some authentic period patterns.

Museerne har en stor samling af tekstiler og i samarbejde med andre museer blev det i 2007 til en stor udstilling i Sæby.

Med dette projekt har museerne villet nå ud til så mange som muligt og hensigten har været at fortælle noget om kulturhistorie, tekstiler, håndens arbejde. Det er pædagogisk henvendt til børn og voksne. Sigtet er en formidling via dette undervisnings-materiale, som kan føre frem til en ny kommunikation ud i fremtiden.

We invite you to visit the new National Museum of Denmark website with spectacular zoom-in and rotating images of Danish prehistoric textiles and other collection highlights
