Tradition, Manifesto, Symbol – Folkwear Renewal in Salzburg from 1910
The exhibition is dedicated to the phenomenon of “Folkwear Renewal”. In Salzburg, this led to the development of a distinctive “Salzburg Folk Costume”. The focal point of the exhibition is the role of men’s folk costumes as a means of representing the province and the history of their broader impact.
The exhibition is divided into four main areas:
- a selection of paintings and sketches with folkwear as the theme
- original Salzburg folk costumes as worn by prominent personalities, and portraits of Salzburg’s provincial governors
- models depicting the first attempts at folkwear renewal also including women’s folk costumes from the region
- the development of folk costumes/folkwear under the motto “Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow”
