Now on Display at Chateau Bellevue
In celebration of Chateau Bellevue's 150th Anniversary, UT Austin’s School of Human Ecology students studied The Gilded Age for their class: “Historic Apparel Collection & Exhibit Management” this fall. Assistant Professor Gail Chovan (who will be the guest speaker at our November 7th luncheon) led 17 students in creating a special Gilded Age exhibit with men and women's historic garments and accessories from the 1880’s -1900's which is now on display at the Chateau through November 22, 2024.
Students researched UT’s 6,500+ historic collection and learned professional museum standards and practice for the preservation, handling and exhibition of vintage fashions.
Austin Woman's Club is a woman-owned 501(c)3 non-profit organized to support the historic Chateau Bellevue.
