During the twentieth century, museums were sites in which the Victorian era was conceptualised and viewed. Thisresearch investigates how UK museums conceptualised the relationship between Victorian dress and femininitybetween 1930-1990, a period that saw a radical shift in how histories of both women and dress were interpreted. Itexamines neglected archival material that document practices at the Gallery of Costume (Manchester), TheMuseum of Costume (Bath), York Castle Museum, Cusworth Hall Museum (Doncaster), Hull Museums, The NationalMuseums of Scotland and Brighton & Hove Museums. By analysing how the museums collected and displayedVictorian women's dress, it reveals how museums engaged with wider discourses on Victorian femininity, sexualityand gender and contextualises lesser-known collections of Victorian dress. It makes an important contribution tohistories of how women are represented in museums and produces the first history of the curation of Victorianwomen's dress.

在20世纪，博物馆是维多利亚时代概念化和观看的场所。本研究调查了英国博物馆如何在1930年至1990年间将维多利亚时代的服装与女性气质之间的关系概念化，这一时期见证了女性和服装历史的解读方式发生了根本性的转变。它检查了被忽视的档案材料，这些材料记录了服装画廊（曼彻斯特）、服装博物馆（巴斯）、约克城堡博物馆、库斯沃思霍尔博物馆（唐卡斯特）、赫尔博物馆、苏格兰国家博物馆和布莱顿和霍夫博物馆的做法。通过分析博物馆如何收集和展示维多利亚时代的女性服装，它揭示了博物馆如何参与关于维多利亚时代女性气质、性和性别的更广泛的话语，并将鲜为人知的维多利亚时代服装收藏置于背景中。它对女性如何在博物馆中表现的历史做出了重要贡献，并产生了维多利亚时代女性服装策展的第一部历史。
