Tapestries are slow and difficult to make. In the European tradition, they are often associated with painting. However, there are also very practical reasons to hang thick textiles on your walls. They offer warmth and muffle sound. This exhibition will fill one of our largest galleries with these textiles from all over the world. It will Include ancient Coptic textiles from Egypt, Iranian kilims, late-medieval wall hangings, pictorial tapestries from the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries by artists such as William Morris, Marianne Stokes, Eduardo Paolozzi and Grayson Perry as well as three-dimensional tapestry sculptures. Within this space we invite you to explore what makes this part of our collection so special.
