Symposium: Art, Science, and Industry: Historic Costume Collections in the 21st Century
Start Date: 11/13/2015 All Day
End Date: 11/14/2015
Event Description
In conjunction with the exhibition Immortal Beauty: Highlights from The Robert and Penny Fox Historic Costume Collection, Drexel University will host a symposium on the role of Historic Costume Collections in the 21st Century. Is fashion truly art, or should it be considered material culture? Where does it fit in the context of academic study? How can technology assist in both preservation and accessibility for items of dress? Is the physical object still relevant in the age of social media? All of these questions and many others will be addressed.

All questions can be directed via email to fhcc@drexel.edu or by phone (215) 895-3504. More information about the Robert and Penny Fox Historic Costume collection can be found online: http://www.drexel.edu/westphal/resources/FHCC/
