Explore our Beyond the Little Black Dress exhibition supported by a Deaf-led tour of key objects.
Part of Edinburgh Deaf Festival, join us after hours for a Deaf-led BSL tour of key objects in the Beyond the Little Black Dress exhibition.
From design classics to cutting-edge catwalk creations, this exhibition deconstructs the little black dress and examines the radical power of the colour black in fashion.
The tour will last around one hour with the chance to explore the exhibition independently afterwards.
This event is particularly aimed at BSL users although we welcome all members of the D/deaf community and their family and friends. If you would like an English voiceover please email communities@nms.ac.uk.
Recommended age 8+
