Every brooch has a story. Find out the stories behind these precious heirlooms and special brooches.
WEARING BROOCHES: And telling their stories
We’ve asked people to share their favourite brooches and the stories behind them. We’ve heard about gifts that mark the start of a courtship and a long marriage. A special memento from a parent. And that special find in a shop while travelling.
Brooches can create connections across generations when stories of these precious heirlooms preserved and shared.
Every brooch has a story. Every brooch can bring an outfit alive.
This exhibition combines storytelling, fashion, history, and an online community to inspire you to find out more about the brooches in your collection and start wearing them again.
