Cornwall Museum and Art Gallery Ticket Portal

The Red Dress

Early booking recommended. Book your arrival slot, stay as long as you want, and explore the whole museum at your leisure. 

The world's largest collaborative embroidery project, The Red Dress is both a striking visual icon and a global storytelling phenomenon. See it displayed in Cornwall for the first time in the Heart of Cornwall Gallery, alongside the story of its creation by artist Kirstie Macleod. 

To accompany The Red Dress here in Cornwall we will be showing Madeleine Walker’s Urban Sirens, a hand-embroidered cape exploring themes of sustainability and Cornish folklore, and a local community artist will create a participation project in response to the garment and its themes.
