A Hat for All Seasons

Event description

Celebrating all things hats! This new exhibition examines the style, function, and symbolism of headwear in British society.

Showcasing highlights from the Museum collection and contemporary examples from Yorkshire milliners, the exhibition traces the evolution of the hat from the bonnet and topper of the Nineteenth Century to Royal Ascot and catwalk showstoppers of the present day.
