Home to one of the world’s most exclusive shopping districts, Palm Beach is also where you’ll find fashion on display at “Florida’s First Museum,” the Henry Morrison Flagler Museum. Starting October 15, the Gilded Age museum and mansion will unveil “Inside Out: Women’s Fashion from Foundation to Silhouette,” an exhibition dedicated to the history of women’s undergarments in America from the 1790s to today.

The exhibition sets out to explore the perceived roles of women against a backdrop of fashion, sociological changes and politics over the course of 8 different eras in history.

For those that are fans of anime films and television, the museum will unveil a new exhibition titled “Anime Architecture,” which starts November 9. This exciting show includes location photographs, concept sketches and clips from films such as Tezuka Osamu’s “Metropolis,” “Ghost in the Shell” and “Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence”.

Marveling the mother of American modernism

Take a look into the life and style of the late, great American artist Georgia O’Keeffe at the newly-renovated Norton Museum of Art. The upcoming exhibition “Georgia O’Keeffe: Living Modern,” is more focused on the woman herself—how she dressed, how she posed in photos, etc.—than her artistic output, which makes the show all the more unique for visitors like you.

If you fancy yourself a fan of art history, this is a no-brainer!
