Patterns and Puffed Sleeves: Costume Design Through Anne of Green Gables
In celebration of the 150th birthday of Lucy Maud Montgomery we are taking a look into our arts collections to share some of the costume designs from various Anne of Green Gables productions. Lucy Maud's legacy in literature and beyond has been embodied in the phenomenal success of the Anne of Green Gables series.
With a focus on costume designs from four Anne of Green Gables productions, including the collection from Martha Mann, costume designer for the now iconic Anne of Green Gables CBC mini-series), this exhibit is a new way to dive into the world of Anne. Exhibit runs to January 12.
Free guided tours every Tuesday at 3 pm.
