Culture and Costume at Fowler Museum

The Critter and I spent an idyllic afternoon last week at The Fowler, getting to know the wonderful gem of a museum located on the UCLA campus. The Fowler started as way for world travelers to share objects collected from different cultures, and its beautifully curated exhibits show all the love and care of those who see to it that their mementoes are seen in their best light.

We were fortunate to be able to have a private viewing of the collections on exhibit and to learn of some of the wonderful enrichment programs that The Fowler offers families, such as the upcoming Enter a Camera; Photo on the Go. The exhibit that caught me from the start was the Resplendent Dress: A History in Layers, which displays many elaborate traditional ensembles from Southeastern Europe, showing the handiwork of the layers of dress of the cultures and how they evolve. I was completely enraptured and couldn’t wait to post the photos above and share with my textile and clothing-philic friends.

The Fowler is a shining example of one of the wonderful things one can do for free in Los Angeles. It’s located close to Lot 4 where one can park easily to spend an hour or a day at the museum and to enjoy the flora and fauna of the beautiful UCLA campus.
