Since time immemorial, clothing has fulfilled far more than just the practical purpose of protecting us from the cold, rain or sun. It is a powerful means of communication that allows us to express our personality and identity, demonstrate power, wealth and beliefs and show our origins or affiliations. Every decision we make about our clothes speaks volumes about ourselves. The travelling exhibition "Was zieh' ich nur an? Lower Franconia between trends and tradition explores the many facets of textile expression in the past and present. It poses the questions: What did and do people in Lower Franconia wear? And why? The exhibition invites you to discover the rich history and current trends in clothing in Lower Franconia and to explore how clothing acts as a form of expression in our society. Immerse yourself in the world of fashion and find out how clothing connects us all and at the same time emphasises our individuality.
