A specialist museum in the town centre dedicated to the history of fashion and costume from the 18th century onwards. The collection traces the evolution of dress across the centuries through original garments, accessories, and textiles. For a market town of Blandford's size, having a museum of this quality and specificity is unusual — it attracts visitors from well beyond Dorset. Housed in a Georgian building on the market place, the museum itself is worth visiting for the setting as much as the collection.
