Moda en Sombras was the first temporary exhibition held at the museum's new facilities, achieving significant public success with over 40,000 visitors. It served as a summary and re-vindication of the museum's history, employing advanced preservation techniques and innovative display methods, which earned an award for its design.
Moda en Sombras, held from November 5, 1991, to May 20, 1992, marked a significant moment as the first temporary exhibition in the museum's new location. The exhibition was a major public success, drawing over 40,000 visitors during its six-month run. Its core principles were to provide a concise overview and affirmation of the museum's history, while implementing state-of-the-art preservation techniques for the artifacts. This dual objective was reflected in the exhibition's name. A model project was undertaken, focusing on creating specific supports and volumes, initiating new research lines, and adopting rigorous conservation measures that necessitated a careful strategy for visitor engagement and information. The exhibition was thematically organized into distinct areas: popular attire, a lace section, garments from the 19th and 20th centuries, and displays related to theatre and the bullfighting world. As in previous instances, the exhibition resulted in an original and practical catalog that offered a novel and functional presentation of the exhibited ensembles. These efforts were recognized with an award from the Colegio de Arquitectos de Madrid in 1991 for the exhibition's montage design.
This exhibition was held from November 5, 1991, to May 20, 1992. Specific ticketing information for this past exhibition is not provided on the page.
