Some costume pictures from exhibits at the James A. Michner Art Museum, June 2010
138 S. Pine St., Doylestown, PA 18901.

Tina and Byron Connell provided us with pictures from the Michelle Berkowitz exhibit of contemporary costumes. They also included some other works within the museum. This show was running at the same time as the Icons of Costume which had photography restrictions.

There are also a few pictures saved from the museums website at the bottom of this page.
