The National Museum of Costume presents a fascinating look at fashion and social etiquette from the 1870s to the 1950s. From bedroom to bathroom, the clothing of the time is displayed on mannequins in realistic room settings throughout the house. From gathering round the wireless in war-time to hosting a dinner party in the Victorian era, immerse yourself in the style of the times.
