Coming to the racetrack dressed to impress has always been a part of the Kentucky Derby experience.

The Kentucky Derby Museum is taking a look back at the origins of the fashion tradition, how it developed, and what makes it so unique through its new “See & Be Seen: 150 Years of Derby Fashion” exhibit.

The exhibit is truly a time capsule that will take guests from the 1800s to the present — mark your calendars for its opening on July 10. Plan a visit to the museum.
