Narryna presents Secrets from the Collection

Our next ‘secret’ item that will be presented as part of our Secrets from the Collection series is the magnificent Beetle-Wing Dress.

Dating back to the late 1800s, this wonderful piece from our costume collection is a marvel to behold. With hundreds of delicate Beetle Wings stitched into the fabric of the dress it is one of our more unusual items here at Narryna.

Please join us at Narryna on the evening of the 20th of April from 6pm for an informative talk, presented by Freya Harrington, to find out the story behind the Beetle-Wing dress and to view this elaborate piece.

Refreshments will be available.

Entry is $10 per person

Later Event: 6 June
What the Dickens!
