All That Glitters

Presented by San Bernardino County Museum at San Bernardino County Museum

January 19-November 2, 2008

A special exhibit at the San Bernardino County Museum, “All That Glitters: a century of razzle-dazzle,” will continue through November 2. The exhibit, originally scheduled through mid-June, has been given an extended run because of the popularity of the exhibit and the educational programs and activities associated with it. The exhibit features clothing, jewelry, and accessories popular from the 1860s to the 1960s. Changes in styles through the century are perhaps typified in the exhibit by a Civil War-era silk gown and a disposable silver paper dress from the early 1960s. The museum’s education division will offer free “razzle-dazzle” family activities on July 13, July 26, and August 16 from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. “All That Glitters is full of objects that give visitors a chance to look back at trends and styles of the past, some enduring and others decidedly not. Today, for example, you can wear your grandfather’s vintage Rolex wristwatch from the 1940s or your aunt’s mod beads with a peace sign from the 1960s and be right in style,” said Michele Nielsen, museum curator of history. “But in the late 1800s, some jewelry was made from human hair and it was okay to wear your loved one on your sleeve, so to speak. Many people exchanged and wore tokens of affection or memorial jewelry—rings, bracelets, watch fobs, and brooches—made from human hair. By the early 1900s, this form of adornment was thought to be old fashioned, even morbid.” “All That Glitters: a century of razzle-dazzle” is free with museum admission.
