Be beautiful. When fashion tells the story of the condition of women (1830-1914) at the Musée de Vire Normandie

The Monday 26 October at 10 a.m00

Square du Chanoine Jean Héroult 14500 VIRE NORMANDIE

Temporary exhibition 2026 at the Musée de Vire Normandie: What do the extravagant crinoline and the severe corset have to say to us? Cleavage and veils? Why is the history of women's fashion so curious and complicated? Its incredible sophistication is the best indicator of the place of women in 19th-century French society. The devices that modified, constrained and exalted the female silhouette reveal the extent to which women's bodies were a preoccupation during this period. Open Wednesday to Sunday.
