Platt Hall, Manchester City Galleries, Gallery of Costume is the latest Museum to acquire part of the Georgina von Etzdorf historic archive. The pieces were particularly sought after following the 2006 exhibition, '25 Years of Sensuous Textiles' at Manchester Art gallery. Platt Hall is currently closed for renovations, but the exhibits should be available to view by late autumn. Check out www.manchestergalleries.org or contact martin@gve.co.uk for more details.
