May I Help You, Madame? The Making of the Modern Department Store

The Flagler Museum’s 2025 Fall Exhibition, May I Help You, Madame? The Making of the Modern Department Store, is on view from November 11, 2025 through May 24, 2026. This exhibition explores the rise of the department store as one of the most influential, and transformative, institutions of modern urban life. Emerging in 19th-century Paris with innovations like Le Bon Marché, the department store quickly became a global phenomenon, reshaping the landscape of commerce, architecture, gender roles, and public space. American interpretations, from Lord & Taylor and Bergdorf Goodman to regional powerhouses like Wanamaker’s, adapted the model to suit a rapidly modernizing society, blending luxury, mass consumption, and spectacle.
