My name is Isabel Monseau, and for my Museums Concentration Capstone I made a prototype (this website!) of a possible way to facilitate interaction with the Smith College Historic Clothing Collection.
I have always been interested in fun, immersive, and hands-on experiences in museums, because I find them to be especially valuable for teaching and learning. As someone interested in historic dress, I thought that creating a model for teaching about fashion and clothing in a fun and interactive way would be helpful.
I hope that this site is useful to you, whether you use the tutorials or not. I wanted to create an experience that provides an opportunity for you to look more closely at historic clothing.
