The Victorian Era (1837-1901)
When you think about the history of art, what do you think about? P aintings and sculptures? Do you ever think about the beauty industry? How we decorate and adorn our bodies is also a form of art that dates back centuries. Visit a museum. Check out exhibits on clothes, shoes, jewellery, make-up. What is deemed beautiful has a lot to do with culture and time period. What did "beauty" look like in Victorian England?
