The museum frequently hosts exciting exhibitions and workshops about fashion for kids and adults. It also organises events like ‘Dress of the Year’ during which top fashion designers add new costumes to the existing collection and ‘Glove Stories’ in which different types of gloves are put up for display. At the end of the museum tour, you can buy fashion items from the museum shop and snack on delightful treats from the museum cafe.
