The fashion of the 18th, 19th and early 20th centuries arrived in the Val d’Aran with the help of the Lleida and Aran Network of Land Museums, with “Vestir Era Mòda”. This is a travelling exhibition that includes some sixty pieces of clothing from the province of Lleida. The wardrobe of the population shows the social and economic change that took place in Europe at that time.
In Vestir era Mòda you can see everything from everyday clothes to elegant or ceremonial dresses, as well as accessories such as shoes, hats, parasols and handbags. These garments have survived to the present day thanks to the families who have saved them as precious assets, who have passed from generation to generation and who have finally ceded them for their conservation and diffusion to the territorial museums.
The exhibition is complemented by clothing, photographs and portraits from private collections in the Val d’Aran. It is worth mentioning a rich baptismal costume from the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries made of three pieces (dress, cloak and cap) from the recently restored collection of the Val d’Aran Museum.
The travelling exhibition, which arrives at its final destination in the Val d’Aran, can be visited from 16 March to 5 May 2018, from Monday to Saturday from 5 pm to 8 pm in Sant Joan d’Arties. Admission is free of charge.
