Featured Collection: Say Yes to the PROM Dress
Mid-April to mid-August 2024
Proms are a much-anticipated milestone for many teenagers. High school students dress up in their most glamorous formal clothing to enjoy the gala event — an occasion guaranteed to create special memories. For teen girls especially, choosing the perfect dress is key to the experience.
The current What We Wore exhibit in the museum presents a variety of prom dresses dating from 1960 to 2006 and uncovers the stories they tell about this important rite of passage.
Stop by the What We Wore case, near Plum Market Kitchen, to see the dresses, explore their stories and revisit memories of your own prom experience.
