There is an exhibition at the York Residency Museum that
may be of interest, as it explores what life in the bush was REALLY
like for women from 1870 to the present day.
The lives and times of four women from different eras and backgrounds
are told using their own words, in the eye-opening ‘Four Women’s
Stories’ recently opened at the York Residency Museum. This exhibition
really gives an unusual insight into the home, leisure time and personal
lives of four very different women who were and are part of the fabric
of York. The exhibition includes many examples of interesting textiles
such as berlin woolwork, embroidered silk shawls and handkerfchiefs
and a beautiful croquet dress and evening gown.
If you are planning any events or outings it is suggested a special
visit at a mutually convenient date and time – you don’t
have to be restricted to the Museum’s opening hours. The museum
will open by arrangement for groups of 10+. The ‘Four Women’s
Stories’ will be on show throughout 2008.
The Museum is open from 1-3pm on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays
and 11am-3.30pm at weekends.
Contact the guild webmaster if you wish
more information.
