Hats and Literature

Rare are writers who did'nt show very particular attention to hats. They never missed the opportunity to take advantage of social and symbolistic aspects of hats, introducing those in some of the more relevant works of universal litterature. From Lewis Carroll to Tolstoï , the museum presents of fair selection of extracts, as for example the top-hat made by Delion in Paris for Baron Charlus himself… (as said Marcel Proust in "Du Côté de Guermantes")
