It's Personal

It's personal.jpg
Every day men and women apply lotions, groom their hair and carry out hidden beauty regimes to present themselves to the world. Have you ever considered why and how technology, social attitudes and politics have shaped the products we use?
 
Take a step inside the world of intimate objects and personal effects where nothing is taboo. Discover the makeup style of the 1920s adventurous woman, how First World War nurses transformed personal hygiene and the meaning behind men’s beards.
 
Exhibition developed by Moreton Bay Regional Council.
