Marquette – The Marquette Regional History Center’s “Special Exhibit: Victorianism in Upper Michigan” will be the feature of a Members Only gallery talk on Thursday, September 25 at 6:30 p.m. at the MRCH.
Members will have the opportunity to ask questions of the curator and take a special tour of the new exhibit at this event. See how the Queen’s long and powerful reign influenced social life in the U.P. in the mid to late 1800s. The growth of technology and the middle class changed the role of women in the home, bringing new domestic arts and a development of women’s hand crafts. Sentimental and ornate homes and clothing were the style, as was a strong mourning
culture. See local hair wreaths made in honor of passing pets and family members and more.
