Designed by John Wood the Younger in 1769. The rooms were bombed in 1942, but are restored to their Georgian splendour.
The story of fashion over the last 400 years is brought alive in one of the largest collections of its kind in the world.
Housed in the restored assembly rooms built in 1769 to 1771 the collection of clothing dates from Tudor times. The displays include over 200 dressed figures and up to a thousand other items of costume, accessories and jewellery to illustrate the changing style in fashionable men's, women's and children's clothes from the late 16th century to the present day.
