Presentation of Belarusian dresses from the turn of the 20th century, Janka Kupala State Literary Museum in Mjensk (part I): Ms. Kataryna.
Дэфіле беларускіх сукенак з канца 19-а й пачатку 20-а стагодзьдзяў у Дзяржаўным літаратурным музеі Янкі Купалы ў Менску (частка І): спадарыня Катарына.
Museums in Mjensk joined sister museums from around the world by staying open the evening of June 18 to mark International Museum Day. As part of its celebration the Janka Kupala Museum presented a display of copies of Belarusian dresses from the turn of the 20th century. Six members of the museum staff modeled the collection that evening. I would like to express my deepest appreciation to museum director Alena Lashkevich for making it possible to photograph the ladies re-modelling the dresses in daylight three days later. A bow to the ladies themselves for their grace, wit, and consummate presence.
