Because we all need more conjugality in our lives, 40 bridal gowns are currently on display in the NIDA foyer, replete with veils, millinery and bridal accessories.

Arranged chronologically by decade from 1880 to 1980, FROM BUSTLES TO BRIDEZILLA will appeal to anyone interested in the general history of dress, and the evolution of nuptial fashion.

It's also worth visiting just to experience the dark, eldritch appeal of a large room full of lifeless figures in long white gowns. Why they chose to cover the faces of the mannequins in wrinkled, bruise-coloured velvet remains a mystery, but it is wonderfully creepy...
