Discover the magnificent Duchess of Hamilton restored to her original streamlined form.

The streamlined Duchess is a stunning piece of 1938-built Art Deco opulence that wowed design critics on both sides of the Atlantic. It was a modern machine for a modern age – and you can see it in this exhibition that explores the links between 1930s fashion, engineering and design.
