Going Out in Style, a Grey Roots original exhibit, presents a fascinating glimpse into funerary customs across diverse cultures, with a specific focus on the Victorian era.
Through over 130 artefacts from the Grey Roots collection, informative text panels, and archival images, Going Out in Style offers a thought provoking, inclusive, and engaging examination of the way in which the living treat the departed. From Egyptian mummification and Viking funerals, to mortuary photography and the haute couture of mourning dress fashions, Going Out in Style explores how death rituals have reflected societal values, beliefs, and traditions throughout history.
