Step into the Victorian Era

This temporary exhibit explores the lives of everyday 19th century women through the objects they created. Handicrafts usually served practical purposes, but the results were also beautiful and creative expressions of the women who made them. Part of the exhibit touches on the sorts of crafts done by children to learn skills they would use in adult life. The rest showcases handicrafts made by adult women for a variety of reasons. The exhibit features objects from the Sutliff Museum’s collection.
