Recovered Light: Studio de Maurice and a Century in Glass

June 20 - October 11, 2026

Selections from this recently discovered archive of nearly 2,500 glass plate negatives produced in France (c.1870s to 1915) are on view for the first time - ever! Marked by damage, and material change, these images are shaped as much by their survival as by the lives and places they depict.

Co-curated by Colleen Schindler  & Grahame Lynch

“Made in France” signifies more than the place of manufacture; it evokes centuries of fashion innovation, luxury, and influence. This exhibition features selections from the museum’s collection of French garments spanning the late 19th to late 20th century.
