In the 21st century, we turn up the thermostat when we are cold — but how did people in the past stay warm in winter?
Join historian Brandon W. Brooks this holiday season for a MAG DeTOUR that explores how warmth, and staying warm, has been depicted in artwork and stitched into historic clothing.
How might the different technologies of staying warm be represented in artworks or the clothing we all used to wear? Does the color red truly make us feel warmer when we see it or wear it? All this a more explored in this rousing winter Fashion and Art DeTOUR.
