Impressive collection of textiles, as you would expect. If you can catch the Korean exhibit highly recommend!

Smallish museum with very well curated galleries. The venue seems much larger than it is. The current exhibition of Korean textiles does a very good job of tracing 150 years of fashion from court to couture. The basement level gallery exhibition of multicultural hats included a wide variety of head coverings from humble to fantastic. Looking forward to visiting again.
