This 'Model of the Month' presentation delves into the historical significance and evolution of eyewear, with a particular focus on a pair of 19th-century silver 'impertinentes' (eyeglasses) from the Museo del Traje collection. The text details how eyeglasses, initially utilitarian, also became fashion accessories, evolving in style and function throughout history. The featured piece, a pair of reading glasses with a decorative strap, is traced back to its participation in the 1925 Exposición del Traje Regional, an event that laid the foundation for the museum's collection. The exhibition explores the social perceptions and stylistic trends associated with eyewear in the 19th century, including the development of various designs like scissor-action glasses and monocles, and their association with social etiquette and fashion.

The text mentions 'Asistencia libre hasta completar aforo' (Free attendance until capacity is reached) for Sunday talks at 12:30 PM. It is presented as part of a 'Modelo del Mes' feature, suggesting it is a display within the museum's permanent collection rather than a separate ticketed event. No specific admission details for the display itself are provided beyond general museum entry.
