The University of Hawaii at Manoa’s Historic Costume Museum is hosting an exhibition from its costume collection, daily through Sunday in Miller Hall, Room 112 (Room 101 on Sunday).

Titled “It’s Traditional,” the show was curated by students in the Costume Museum Management class.

In an effort to research and understand textiles used by diverse cultures, students were allowed to select a garment or outfit in the museum reflecting the theme of tradition. In the process, students were able to learn more about the culture behind the garments and to correctly display the items.

Hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. through Saturday, and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday. Admission is free.
