This exhibit will display approximately 500 period hats ranging from the 1800s to the present. Hats from many cultures and countries will fill the rooms accentuated with hat boxes, shoes, handbags and dresses of the time period. This collection was acquired from Barbara Alfidi, Rancho Cordova collector and historian, and tells a story of fashion and culture through the century. This exhibit will run for 6 weeks instead of our normal 3-week exhibit length.
