From furniture, books, and paintings to jewelry and textiles, a variety of collectibles will be for sale at various locations around the Museum grounds, including the John L. Wehle Gallery, where a sneak preview of the upcoming exhibit “Victoria’s Closet: Fashions of the 1850s” will take an in-depth look at Queen Victoria and her influence on styles around the world. The exhibit will feature exquisite, authentic, period clothing and accessories from the Museum’s Susan Greene Costume Collection as well as pieces from the Rochester Museum and Science Center.
