"The Past Reimagined: Victorian Fashion and the Designs of Eladrienne Laval"
Whitehorn Library, Caledon Victoria City
slurl.com/secondlife/Caledon Victoria City/52/203/23
Through February 2008
Eladrienne Laval's real life background as an artist and a student of History guides her SL design work, and her experience with the fabric arts informs both eye and her design choices.
This exhibit explores Miss Laval's creations from source image though design and construction, and places them in the context of her inspirations from Victorian art and Fashion. A section of the exhibit looks at one of Miss Laval's favorite designers, Charles Frederick Worth, the father of haute couture. Caledon Library curator Siri Woodget has collaborated with Miss Laval to supplement the exhibit with materials on one of Worth's famous patrons, Isabella Stewart Gardner.Indeed, the exhibit features the unveiling of a new item of SL couture! Especially for this exhibit, Miss Laval has created an in-world re-imagined version of one of Mrs. Gardner's favorite dresses by Worth.
The Caledon Library would like to extend its thanks to the Isabella Stewart Gardenr Museum of Boston, Massachusetts, for its kind permission to use materials relating to the life of Mrs. Gardner
In October 2016, a group of brave stuffed animals came to the library with their favorite humans for bedtime stories, then stayed for an overnight adventure.
The following day, their humans came to pick them up and take home a sleepover souvenir!

ARCTIC MONKEYS - "Library Pictures"
Library pictures of the quickening canoe
The first of it's kind to get to the moon
Trust some ellipses to chase you round the room
Through curly straws and metaphors and goo
Been watching all the neon blossom flickering
You look as if you've all forgotten where you've been
Going riding through the thunder suckle fuzz canyon
10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4...
3, 2, 1

Here's a view of the front of the library. Unfortunately, the traffic on this side is so heavy that it's difficult to appreciate the view.
