AIC's 44th Annual Meeting

The McCord Museum houses a leading collection of Canadian costume and includes almost 20,000 objects of women’s, men’s and children’s wear and accessories dating from the 18th century to the present day. It also contains an important group of embroidered samplers, quilts and other textiles. This tour, led by Anne MacKay, Head of Conservation, will give visitors an overview of the collection and a look at the installations, exploring the two reserves at the museum dedicated to costume and textiles.
