Great News from Berlin!
Last week, all the Europeana Fashion partners got together in Berlin to catch up on the progress of the project. It was great to see all the faces of our project partners from all over Europe, sharing experience, expertise (and some local Berlin cuisine of course). And now we are even happier to share some exciting updates with you!
The Royal Museums of Art and History in Brussels are working on a unique Fashion Thesaurus that is going to make searching on the Europeana Fashion portal a breeze and that will even give you the opportunity to search by color. Our colleagues at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London are delving into Intellectual Property Rights, so we can share as many images as possible on Europeana Fashion!
Partner Stiftung Preußischer Kulturbesitz was so kind to organize this event and took very good care of us. They even treated us to a private tour by curator Adelheid Rasche of the Lipperheide Costume Library which hosts an incredible amount of fashion related objects, even dating back to the 16th century. And the best news of all is that a selection of objects from this massive library collection will be available on the Europeana Fashion portal!
