Apologies for the title of this email but I would like information from people who have costume to try on, either in galleries or as part of a handling collection. WE recently launched a small series of activity areas in our museum which include costume for visitors to try on. The replica costume includes a felt tricorn hat, and three woollen and/or velvet hats. We have had a comment from a school nurse that we should not include headgear as they can harbour lice. Googling this subject does not come up with anything conclusive on whether or not headlice can survive in hats and transfer from person to person. Any comments?
