One of the most famous houses in Cincinnati is the home to the Taft Museum of Art, a National Historic Landmark.

Visit this Cincinnati icon and take a private tour of the latest exhibition, Sporting Fashion. Later, we will have time to wander the galleries and enjoy lunch in the excellent Café. 

Sporting Fashion: Outdoor Girls 1800 to 1960 explores women’s ongoing negotiation of the demands of fashion, function, and feminine decorum. It is the first exhibition to consider the evolution of women’s sporting and leisure attire, revealing how clothing was designed to accommodate a variety of activities ranging from horseback riding to golfing to motorcycling. 

Clothing for cycling, motoring, and flying—often adapted from men’s athletic gear—reveals how women navigated open roads and skies. Women's winter sports outfits show how apparel for pastimes such as skiing and skating protected female participants from the elements. Garments for swimming and tanning illustrate how designers and manufacturers responded to the increasing acceptance of exposed skin at beaches and pools.
