[1] The Costume Museum collection holds more than 35,000 textile artifacts reflecting clothing worn over a 400-year period.

Initially located in Dugald, Manitoba, in 2007, the Costume Museum moved to Winnipeg with the aim of attracting more visitors.

"The Little Black Dress" was on exhibit at the Ruth Funk Center for Textile Arts at Florida Tech in Melbourne FL, from January through April, 2011.
