Collection: Northern Threads exhibition
In 2020 Maine Historical Society displayed a landmark two-part exhibition NORTHERN THREADS: Two Centuries of Dress at Maine Historical Society. Organized by themed vignettes, Northern Threads shared stories about Maine people, while exploring how the clothing they wore revealed social, economic, and environmental histories. This re-examination of MHS's permanent collection was an opportunity to consider the relevance of historic clothing in museums, the ebb and flow of fashion styles, and the complexities of diverse representation spanning 200 years of collecting.
