An exciting collaboration between the Newport Historical Society and the Audrain Automobile Museum brings “The World in Motion, Fashion and Modernity 1885-1945” and “Women Take the Wheel: Fashion, Modernity, and the Automobile” to Newport this summer.
Women Take the Wheel: Fashion, Modernity and the Automobile 1900 – 1945 Virtual Opening
The Newport Historical Society is pleased to partner with the Audrain Automobile Museum to offer a joint exhibit focusing on the evolution of fashion from the height of the Gilded Age to the beginning of the modern era. The exhibit will be featured at the Newport Historical Society at 82 Touro Street, and the Audrain Museum at 222 Bellevue Avenue beginning May 29th.
The exhibit is open daily, 10am-3pm. Members at either institution receive free admission at both sites- proof of membership will be required. Non-members who purchase tickets at the NHS ($10/person) will receive a discount on their ticket to the Audrain. Visitors who purchase tickets at the Audrain will receive discounted access to the NHS ($5/per person). Tickets purchased at the NHS can also be used to visit the Museum of Newport History & Shop.
The health and safety of our visitors, our community, and our staff remains our priority, and so, the Newport Historical Society will continue to require all visitors, regardless of vaccination status, to wear masks while visiting us in person.
Before you make your way to our in-person exhibit spaces, enjoy this preview presented by Rebecca Kelly, Visiting Curator of Fashion History at the NHS, and David de Muzio, Executive Director, Curatorial & Collections, at the Audrain Automobile Museum.
