French to English: Museum guide
Source text - French Abritée au sein d’un ensemble architectural remarquable, ancien hôtel particulier du xviiie siècle, la collection présente les évolutions de la mode française depuis la fin du xviiie siècle jusqu’à nos jours. Elle compte aujourd’hui plus de 5 000 pièces !
Conçue dans un esprit à la fois théâtral et pédagogique, la mise en scène propose une approche non seulement historique et artistique, mais aussi sociologique. Catalogue de formes, le musée est aussi le support d’une réflexion sur l’image de la femme et de la féminité. De même la confrontation des costumes nobles et bourgeois aux vêtements des classes plus modestes permet d’opposer la richesse et la variété des uns, à la modestie et à l’uniformité des autres.
Sans cesse enrichie de pièces majeures, la collection s’intéresse également aux nombreux accessoires (sacs, éventails, chaussures, chapeaux…) qui vous permettront, le temps d’une visite, de découvrir un bel ensemble constitué autour du costume et de la mode.
Translation - English Housed in a remarkable 18th century mansion, the collection traces the evolution of French fashion from the end of the 18th century to modern times. Today it includes more than 5,000 items.
Conceived in both a theatrical and educational spirit, the production offers not only a historical and artistic approach but also a sociological one. A catalogue of conventions, the museum is also a reflection on the image of women and femininity. In the same way the comparison of noble or bourgeois clothing with that of the more modest classes allows us to contrast the richness and variety on the one side with the modesty and uniformity on the other side.
Major items are continually added to the collection which also includes numerous accessories (bags, fans, shoes, hats etc.) giving you the opportunity, during your visit, to discover a beautiful collection based around costume and fashion.
