UPCOMING EVENTS

Celebrating Jane Austen’s 250th Birthday in Fashion

February 7th
1:00PM - 3:00PM

Arlington Public Library 

In partnership with Jane Austen Society of North America - North Texas Chapter and with costumes loaned from NBCUniversal Archives & Collections, the AMA will feature costumes and jewelry from film adaptations of two of Austen’s most iconic works: Pride and Prejudice (2005) and Emma (2020).

Bringing together costumes and accessories from two important films in the Austen world, the exhibition immerses visitors in the elegant, expressive, and often politically charged world of fashion during the Regency era.

There is no admission charge
