From a collection of thousands of textiles, 150 have been chosen. This blog pos contains a lot of pictures, but certainly not all the pieces in the show. I hope it gives a flavour of the riches on display. Click on the photos to read the labels.
The exhibition examines the links between west and north African textile traditions through a selection of important and rare examples of textile art, shown for the first time.
