Mutual Seduction: Cars & Costumes - April 22, 2006 - February 25, 2007 - Automobiles and clothing seem to identify Americans and represent our cultural values to the world. Few functional objects offer a more seductive embodiment of freedom of expression and choice than do the cars we drive and the clothes we wear. Historic images from the Joel E. Ferris Research Library and Archives special collections, a dozen unique automobiles, and sixty mannequins dressed in Inland Northwest clothing blend together to create a high speed journey through 100 years of America’s historical and cultural landscape. Prepare to be seduced in this exhilarating exhibition!
