Cora Ginsburg is well known as one of the foremost scholars, collectors, and dealers in the field of costume and textiles. Now in her 80s, Mrs. Ginsburg has nurtured the talents and molded the tastes of generations of scholars and collectors. The Department of Costume and Textiles was immensely fortunate that Mrs. Ginsburg offered to the Museum as a gift her personal collection of 19th- and early 20th-century children's clothing. Curators chose 25 pieces from the more than 50 offered. With this extraordinary gift as the nucleus, the Department will begin to plan an exhibition of children's clothing.
