Symposium | Dr. Christopher Breward "Scholarship and Curation"

The Museum at FIT presented Exhibiting Fashion, its twenty-first academic symposium on Friday, March 8, 2019. This symposium explored the history of fashion curating, the different ways fashion is displayed in museum settings, and how national and regional identities influence fashion exhibitions. The symposium was organized in conjunction with Exhibitionism: 50 Years of The Museum at FIT, which commemorated the rich history of the museum, the site of more than 200 exhibitions since the 1970s. Dr. Christopher Breward was appointed the director of collection and research at the National Galleries of Scotland in 2017. He was previously the principal of Edinburgh College of Art.
