Discover the artistry and elegance of late 19th-century men’s fashion through a distinguished three-piece suit. This finely tailored ensemble – consisting of a frock coat, waistcoat, and trousers – was worn by Robert Ross on his wedding day in Whanganui in 1884.

Join Pou Tiaki/Collections & Curatorial Lead, Trish Nugent-Lyne for a fashion talk in the museum as she explores the craftsmanship, style, and significance of this remarkable garment.

Everyone is welcome. No need to book. Admission is free. Koha for the Museum is always appreciated.
