BISMARCK, N.D. – “Interpreting Fashion,” a hands-on workshop, will be held at the North Dakota Heritage Center & State Museum on Saturday, May 21, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Staff and volunteers from museums and historic sites across North Dakota are invited to join State Historical Society of North Dakota education staff for a day of program development inspired by the "Fashion & Function: North Dakota Style" exhibit at the State Museum and the agency’s extensive collection of documents and objects.
The daily lives of museum visitors are impacted by fashion. This workshop explores the role of fashion in our culture, society, economy, and history. Participants will learn easy-to-apply methods for building interactive and hands-on experiences for fashion-focused programming. Register at
