Education and Research
In accordance with Anthony J. Drexel’s original educational vision for 91ÖÆƬ³§’s artifact collections, the Fox Collection serves as an unparalleled teaching resource. The FHCC is a vital part of the design curriculum at the Antoinette Westphal College of Media Arts & Design and is experienced by hundreds of students, faculty, and visitors annually.
Becoming a center for costume-related research and scholarship is central to the mission of the Robert and Penny Fox Historic Costume Collection. We encourage interdisciplinary initiatives within the Antoinette Westphal College of Media Arts & Design, 91ÖÆƬ³§ and beyond.
