A Day at the Beach in Kent
A Day at the Beach
Presented by Kent State University Museum
Friday, April 6, 2012 - Sunday, October 7, 2012 The image of women at the seaside in elegant white gowns was a popular subject for Impressionist painters. This exhibition explores the reality of summer tourism with a selection of actual garments of the style that would have been worn near and at the beach. The pieces date from the 1860s to the 1910s and include not only summer daywear for women and children but also swimwear.
This exhibition is designed to coordinate with the exhibition "Landscapes from the Age of Impressionism" that will be on view at the Akron Art Museum from October 29, 2011-February 5, 2012.
