Many of LACMA's exhibitions tour the world, bringing works from the permanent collection and original scholarship to an international audience. Reigning Men: Fashion in Menswear, 1715–2015, which was a crowd favorite when it was on view at LACMA in 2016, has been on the road. If you are near Sydney, Australia this week, be sure to visit the Powerhouse Museum, where Reigning Men is on view through October 14.
