Grantown Museum has commissioned 20 reproduction costumes in sumptuous fabrics covering the period from the 1750's to the 1920's.
These are available to try on and photograph (and video) for you to experience a flavour of life in another era.
We have some basic garments that you can try on by yourself for free, but most of the collection requires assistance to get dressed (in the 18th and 19th centuries ladies had a maid, sister or mother to help them dress). We can photograph and video the experience for you, or you can bring your own camera or phone.

Had an hour amazing experience of ‘adventure in costume’ with Suzi in Grantown-on-Spey museum. She is very patient all of us, including three children, and very knowledgeable about her stuff. The dresses are amazingly made. Can’t recommend highly enough!

Lovely museum very friendly staff, we took part in the Adventures in Costume with Suzi and we had an amazing time. Suzi was so wonderful and patient with us and we all had fun. We will return without doubt to do it again.
