Como House of Discovery: Traces of Girlhood

Laura-Armytage

History has left only traces of the experience of girlhood. Yet traces do remain, poignant and important. They tell the stories of girls and young women who grew up in 19th and early 20th-century Victoria and the central role they played in our society.

This exhibition at Como House in South Yarra will illuminate these traces, featuring handiwork, scrapbooks, writing, archaeological artefacts and photographs.

Exploring themes including opportunities and expectations, work and play, learning and connections, Traces of Girlhood brings together the diverse experiences of girls from our past through the things they have left behind.

Book tickets for the weekend Open House sessions to view the exhibition at your own pace, or join a historical house tour to learn more about the history and stories of Como House & Garden.

Presenting Partner: Heritage Victoria.
