Special Exhibit - Pandora by Design: Sweaters from the Millyard
COMING SOON!
In the Henry M. Fuller State Theatre Gallery in the Millyard Museum
In 1940 Pandora Industries relocated to Manchester from New York City, and for the next several decades became one of the major employers of the Queen City with as many as 1,000 people working for the company. Pandora maintained itself as a major sweater and sportswear maker, making as many as 60,000 sweaters per week, and was one of the last textile manufacturers to operate in Manchester's Millyard.
The newest exhibit at the Millyard Museum will showcase a recently acquired collection of Pandora sweaters and designs as well as part of the iconic sign that stood atop the Pandora Mill building for approximately 50 years.
Opening March 9. A special exhibit reception will be held later this spring.
