The Met Costume Institute Archives

Here’s a little something I hope you will enjoy-a rare sneak peak into the Costume Institute Archives.

Can you imagine maintaining a closet with such beautiful and historical pieces that require constant upkeep and proper handling  to preserve the integrity of each extraordinary piece?

Here’s a glimpse of  what goes on “behind the scenes” to keep things intact.  A personal thank you to The Met  Costume Institute for carefully maintaining these one of a kind extraordinary items.
