A new exhibit at the Galt Museum hopes to answer the question of why women’s clothing doesn’t have any pockets.
The new exhibit, “Pockets of Possibilities,” opens Oct. 17.
“Women’s clothing did have pockets in the early twentieth century and latte nineteenth,” observed guest curator Kirstan Schamuhn, who drew much many of the pieces from the exhibit from the Galt Museum’s archives.
She will be giving an online presentation about pockets and how women‘s clothing styles have changed on Oct. 14 at 2 p.m..
“I’ve always been curious about why that is, so this this seemed like the perfect time to do it,” Schamuhn said, noting the lack of pockets is a relatively new phenomenon that arose, simply to ideas of style.
