Join us in experiencing our exhibit Treasures from Our Roots, a testament of family heirlooms and sentimental pieces that showcase rich culture and family heritage. Explore the family ties that intertwine our vastly different pieces. In this exhibit, we have on display not only what is visible to the eye but also a connection to the way in which family influences and shapes fashion. As you go through our exhibit notice the different textures and colours of the pieces. Take a closer look at the work that went into creating each object on display. In this collection that we have put together, we have an amber ring passed down from mother to daughter, a Cultivo de la vida dress crafted by a grandmother for her granddaughter, a Chunni (Scarf) given to me by my mother. A gho (Bhutanese Men’s National Dress) that was given to me by my grandfather. These pieces are linked in an exhibit that honours the lasting bonds of family, heritage, and culture through heirlooms that tell stories across generations. Let our display remind us of the things that truly bind us together, family history, and the legacies we continue to shape.
