Wednesday 15 October to Friday 24 October: Exhibition - The Blouse that changed the World, EU House, Dublin

From Wednesday 15 to Friday 24 October, the European Commission Representation in Ireland is hosting an exhibition entitled "The Blouse that changed the World". The exhibition, which celebrates the traditional Romanian blouse, is organised by the Romanian Cultural Institute and the Embassy of Romania in Ireland and is part of Romanian Cultural Days in Dublin.

Made famous by Matisse and a global fashion item by the hippie generation, the traditional Romanian blouse is the seductive conclusion of centuries of craftsmanship and chromatic imagination. The 'Măiastra – The Untold Story of the Romanian Blouse' exhibition, produced by Galateca Gallery from Bucharest, exposes the sartorial, symbolical, and artistic connections of this iconic artifact.

The exhibition is open to the public free of charge on weekdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. from Wednesday 15 to Friday 24 October.
