Australian Costumes, Costume Museums
The purpose of this web story is to introduce you to the variety of costumes collections that are held in Australian museums. These pages highlight the collections of the Benalla Costume and Pioneer Museum and offers a tour of nine other museums that have significant collections of costumes.
Some of the museums highlighted on the tour hold specialist collections, such as the Powerhouse Museums' shoe collection while others such as the Golden Dragon Museum hold marvellous theatrical costumes. The collections of dress and ornament from Aboriginal culture are represented by the Berndt Anthropological Museum, although many other fine collections exist.
