The TRC is actively involved in the creation and presentation of exhibitions about different aspects of dress and textiles, from all over the world. Per 1 January 2017, three complete exhibition packages have been prepared that are on loan to interested and suitable museums or institutes. These exhibitions cover a minimum of 150 sq metres and can be expanded upon by the host museum/institute, with the help of the TRC. They are:
- TRC Exhibition Package: For a Few Sacks More. How the simple feedsack helped to clothe America in the 1930s
- TRC Exhibition Package: Vestments and Embroidery within the Syriac Orthodox Church
- TRC Exhibition Package: Embroidery from the Arab World
- TRC Exhibition Package: Flowing Robes: Dress and jewellery from the Arabian Peninsula
- TRC Exhibition Package: Central Asian Dress
In addition, separate exhibition packages, of different sizes, can be prepared at relatively short notice for interested parties. These packages are based on past exhibitions at the TRC. They can be displayed as provided by the TRC, or expanded upon by the host museum/institute, in consultation with the TRC.
