Fashion History Museum

Beautiful display in a lovely building, with fascinating details provided by the curator. Those gorgeous clothes on display for the 2019 exhibition Made in France were mesmerizing. Clothes really can be art that you wear! What a fun little museum in Hespeler. So glad we visited.

May 6, 2023 Coronation Day of King Charles lll.We had an appointment at the Fashion History Museum for the advertised Coronation White-Linen High Tea. WHAT A JOKE !!!. There was no white-linen anywhere.I believe that who ever organized this has NO idea what a White-Linen High Tea consist of. Also what was advertised as the menu items had no resembles to what was served.This is the VERY WORST so called White-Linen High Tea you could possible imagine.First and foremost for a Coronation White-Linen High Tea celebration there was no Coronation themed decorations. If you do not intend to decorate for what you are advertising as a Coronation themed White-Linen High Tea then you should not promote it as a CORONATION HIGH TEA.You should also learn how to serve tea and keep it hot for your customers! Every heard of a tea cozy ?Traditional finger sandwiches, were not served. Instead a plate of thrown together thin sliced and sadly lacking (you will need a magnifying glass to find any fillings) so called sandwiches were served.This was followed by a scone that was more like a bread roll, with no cream (only butter) and jam. Went we asked for the cream that was advertised we were told that the BUTTER on the table was the cream and told we did not know what the Devon Cream was like. RUDE I can assure you that I have had many, many High Teas and am very well aware what Devon Cream is and it is NOT ANYTHING LIKE THE BUTTER THAT WAS ON THE TABLE !Then came the final DISAPPOINTMENT the sweets or what should have been the sweets totally inedible !!! A total disappointment and at a cost of $45.20 a total rip off !!!!Maybe someone should at least research what a White-Linen High Tea is before advertising something that you have no ability to deliver !!!Very Very Disappointing !!!!!!!

What a surprise! This tiny little museum is well worth checking out. We learned a lot and had fun checking out all the different styles of clothing they presented. It's up a hill [or down I guess if we'd come from the other direction, but has good access for those with mobility issues.

I go at least once a year. Fabulous exhibits

What a gem this place is. Totally recommend taking the journey and spending the whole day. Nothing like it in Canada, I'm sure, and so carefully curated and fascinating. Also, a beautiful space!

A gem of a museum. Each piece was described in very readable English and explained its place and influence in history. Not a large venue so not much walking. My friend and I who live in this region were so surprised to find this hidden jewel. Also the downtown it is located in has been delightfully renewed. I felt like I was in a foreign country-in a good way. There is an excellent non-chain cafe a few blocks away.

Small but good to visit.

Don't let the small size of this jewel in Cambridge bring you down. It's relevant, nice and a good visit when in the area

Small space but very interesting. We saw the history of Canadian fashion and the Dior display. Will come back again when the exhibit changes in a few months! There was an image scavenger hunt for the kids!

Lots of interesting fashion memorabilia on displays. Worth the one-hour drive visit from Toronto, expecially for those who are interested or study Fashion. Wish, this museum will get some money to expand.
