I run the costume shop for UC Riverside, Ca . . . we recently had a donation of an Edwardian gown, and I would like to find a museum and/or conservator to donate it to . . . there is fabulous detail that we will studied here, but it is very fragile and will need to be preserved soon.

Re: Conservation and preservation
Thu, March 20, 2008 - 4:35 PMHave you checked with LACMA about it? They have a costume and textiles department and may be interested.
If you have no luck there, you can PM me some more details about it. I'm on a museum listserv and frequently people ask if another museum wants an item. I'd be happy to post an announcement for you.
