ICOM Costume is pleased to announce that registration for its annual meeting is now open. The meeting will be held in Toronto, Canada, 8-13 September 2015 and the theme of the conference is “exhibitions and interpretation.”  It is followed by a post conference tour to Montreal and Ottawa 14-17 September. 

Paper sessions will be held at iSchool of the University of Toronto, where we’ll be the guests of the Museum Studies programme. Afternoons will be filled with visits to key museums in the city including the Royal Ontario Museum, the Bata Shoe Museum and Toronto’s newest museum, the Aga Khan Museum of Islamic Art. There is also a programme of related evening events.
