This exhibition consists of nearly 50 costumes and more than 150 accessories, along with carefully selected colour fashion plates and photos, which convey the atmosphere of the era. The Kumu exhibition is supplemented by works of art from the collections of the Art Museum of Estonia, including a set of 19th-century fashion plates from women’s magazines published in 1845–1867 in France and Belgium; there are also photos of Baltic Germans from the photo collection of the Estonian Historical Archives.
