This is a video interview with our first featured curator, Pauline Rushton, Curator of Costume and Textiles, filmed in July 2009.
In the video Pauline answers questions sent in by the public and also talks about one of her favourite objects from the collections; a beautiful beaded dress from 1925.
Pauline is responsible for a huge range of costumes, from stunning 1950s gowns to punky Vivienne Westwood suits. In 2009 she curated exhibitions such as Sound and Vision and A Sweet Life.
