Pictures of the Théâtre de la Mode exhibit at the Maryhill Museum of Art. From the Wikipedia, "Théâtre de la Mode (Theatre of Fashion) was a 1945–1946 touring exhibit of fashion mannequins, approximately 1/3 the size of human scale, crafted by top Paris fashion designers. It was created to raise funds for war survivors and to help revive the French fashion industry in the aftermath of World War II. The original Théâtre de la Mode exhibit toured Europe and then the United States..." The last stop for this exhibit was San Francisco in 1946, and they remained there for lack of funds to ship them to Paris. In 1952, the Maryhill Museum of Art acquired the exhibit and these have been an important part of the collection ever since. The museum is located at 35 Maryhill Museum Drive, Goldendale, Washington 98620. This museum is located on a bluff overlooking the Columbia River Gorge. The building was built by Samuel Hill, a prominent figure in the development of roads along the Columbia River. This museum is fascinating and should be a stop on any trip to Portland (even with the nearly two hours drive to the museum). Visited the Maryhill Museum on Wednesday October 31st, 2018.
