On the 1st April, the Hat Museum, in S. João da Madeira, opened the exhibition “Milliners. The Collection of the National Costume Museum”. This exhibition is part of the protocol renewal for the deposit of more than 600 hats from the National Costume Museum’s colletion, which the Hat Museum has taken charge of since 2008.

The long term exhibition is divided in seven different areas.

Each area represents a different production moment presenting not only the machinery, tools, raw materials and sub-products but also testimonies from hatters that worked with those materials.
