Behind the Scenes at Museo del Traje

Geen categorie /

Storage area Traje 1

One of the objectives of Europeana Fashion portal is digitally disclosing the outstanding fashion-and costume collections of our partners. Due to the sensitivity and fragility of textiles, display of the collection in the physical world is always limited. Many objects are carefully preserved behind the scenes in a special storage area. Partner Museo del Traje in Madrid shows us around this rarely seen part of the museum where the actual preservation of fashion heritage takes place on a daily basis.

Textiles are fragile materials. Our storage area is organized depending on the nature of the materials of each collection. Many costumes are already protected in individual acid-free cotton bags, made-to-measure by our personnel, and we keep on producing these bags in order to store the whole collection.

Our goal is reducing manipulation to a minimum. Therefore, each bag has the garment number sewn in the outside, a small cut-out window protected with a semi-transparent acid-free fabric and a pocket in which we tuck a picture. This way we can identify the costume easily without opening the bag.

Well-preserved garments hang from padded hangers, while more fragile pieces and bigger outfits are kept in special boxes or in drawers.

As application essay writing service for how you might choose to leverage this functionality, one recommendation is to turn off internet access for brief periods, when you want students to focus on a lecture for example, rather than simply disabling it for an entire class

Support #AllezCulture, Support Europeana

Europeana, our partner in the Europeana network, might be facing a drastic budget cut from 2015 onwards. We cannot afford to lose a service that connects Europe with its shared history and heritage. Europeana offers 27 million freely and openly available objects in one online portal. Support Europeana by participating in the #AllezCulture campaign. Read on to find out how.

Why are we asking for your help? Because the budget under which Europeana was to be funded from 2015 onwards has been slashed from 9 billion euros to 1 billion. Europeana is still in the running but is now in direct competition with health, justice and safer internet programmes. If it loses the funding, much of the hard work put in will be wasted.

Europeana works with galleries, libraries, archives and museums in every European country to make knowledge and culture available online. It connects everyone in Europe with their shared history and heritage – 27 million books, pictures, films and recordings so far.

With its partners across Europe, it is pioneering new ways to engage people in culture through websites, apps, software and social media, through sharing its expertise, business models and code, and through services for education and tourism. Europe needs this innovation – there’s faster progress in the digital sector than most other areas of the economy.

As Europeana Fashion, we cannot stress enough the connections between fashion, culture and the economy. Fashion is both a commodity and a cultural expression. Fashion draws inspiration from culture, is culture and creates new cultures, and at the same time is one of the world’s largest industries.

Supporting Europeana is supporting Europe. None of us can afford to lose a service that is both good for people and good for the economy. So please pledge your support by following and tweeting #AllezCulture on Twitter, join the #AllezCulture Facebook group or visit the dedicated campaign web page.

You can also blank out their screens and limit them from using the computer at all, but again, it is important to buy research paper online using https://buyresearchpapers.net/ weigh how you use this capability
