UPDATE: Fashion History Museum Timeline

The Fashion History Museum (FHM) contacted the City of Cambridge on Tuesday, March 18 at 1:19pm to request until May 19, 2025, to remove items from the building. Simultaneously, the FHM launched an unnecessary campaign requesting that members of the public contact City staff and Members of Council to request an extension to the 14 day timeline to vacate.

City staff were, and are, prepared to grant the museum’s request for additional time through a permission to enter agreement and public input was not necessary.  The City of Cambridge has been fair and reasonable throughout this process and appreciates the need for additional time to vacate and make alternate arrangements. The City has been flexible throughout this process and had already informed FHM staff that they will have access to the space until May 19, as originally requested by the Chair of the Fashion History Museum.
