Museums: Hidden Histories - Women and the Renaissance

"The medieval and Renaissance collections at the [Victoria and Albert Museum] have many objects that reveal the lives of women. Ranging from jewellery to ceramics, most are precious items that would have belonged to the wealthy. This reflects what has survived but also what was collected by the Museum. Most of objects that will be examined here are from Italy, and date from the 15th and 16th centuries." -- from the website.
