Thank you so much to our first ever guest on the podcast, Julia Westerman! Julia is a fashion and art historian and on our third episode, talks with Tash and Alice about the difference between fashion and clothing, what fashion is considered worthy of museum representation, the gendered nature of the way we academically perceive fashion and how museums can best display fashion within museums. 

The Medium of the Museum is a conversation twice a month which examines the responsibilities of museums and galleries in modern society through a lens of history, culture and thematic insights.

We would love to hear from you! Email us at [email protected], follow us on Twitter @MediumMuseum and Instagram @mediumofthemuseum.

Julia Westerman can be found on Instagram @Julia.Westerman and on Twitter @JuliaWesterman9.

You can listen to Medium of the Museum wherever you get your podcasts.
