The Europeans continue to rock the museum thing. Check out the Digital Museum of the Norsk Folkemuseum in Olso.
That’s where I found this lovely jacket (I like making jackets, they’re the cupcake of clothing, like bonnets are the cupcake of head wear.)
What is especially sweet about this is that there are drawings, and a pattern. Pattern! 
It’s another goal to try to achieve for the collections I work with.
Holy Curator’s Dream, Batman!
If you like history and costume and paintings (oh my) stop reading this and go play at the Rijksmuseum.
Hot tip: search for “jak” or “japon” if you’re looking for jackets and dresses.
The zoom feature is amazing, and the collections are clearly drop-dead awesome. Only a tiny fraction are digitized, but what has been is astonishing. Look at that jacket! It’s dated 1810-1820, but earlier fabric.
What are you still doing here? Go visit!
