Cambridge’s Fashion History Museum has been granted an extension to relocate its collection to a new facility, allowing for a more extensive exploration of its extensive wardrobe.

The Fashion History Museum in Cambridge was given a two-month extension by the city to remove its collection from the building, after the city terminated the lease due to non-payment of rent. The extension was granted in response to the museum’s request, which was submitted after an “unnecessary” public campaign was launched, prompting a surge in public responses. The museum’s co-founder, Kenn Norman, believes the campaign may have had an impact on the city’s decision to grant the extension, giving the museum two months to safely move its collection and find a new home.
