Through July 31, 2016
The Mad Hatters exhibit showcases the identities that New Yorkers carve out for themselves by donning a simple piece of headwear in a crowded city. With special attention to the city’s defining grassroots folk cultures, the exhibit pays tribute to NYC’s master milliners while also documenting and celebrating the men and women who proudly wear hats, whether to express their cultural traditions or their individual personalities. The exhibit features a series of special hats made exclusively for the show by the New York Milliners Guild, illustrating New York “hat-itude”.
