Road Trip!

A Visit to The New York Historical museum, with a Special Tour of the exhibition Real Clothes, Real Lives: 200 Years of ​What Women Wore, featuring clothing from the Smith College Historic Clothing Collection 

Join Historic Northampton co-directors and Kiki Smith, Smith College professor of theatre, clothing historian, and author, on a special visit to the exhibition Kiki Smith conceived and curated: Real Clothes, Real Lives: 200 Years of What Women Wore at The New York Historical museum.

Featuring garments from the Smith College Historic Clothing Collection, the exhibit reveals the history, economics, and stories behind the everyday fashion worn by women over the last two centuries. Since its opening last September, reviewers have spotlighted Real Clothes, Real Lives as one of the most important new exhibits on display. It will close in June 2025.

Our group will be treated to private, docent-led tours of the exhibit.

There will be time to view other exhibitions at The New York Historical museum and explore New York City on your own.
