From the Vault: Collecting Tapestries at the Worcester Art Museum

Tapestries: intricately designed, meticulously crafted, and often staggering in size. Delve into the history of tapestries as an art form, the methods by which they were created, the fascinating stories that brought them to the Worcester Art Museum, and their important role as a source of artistic creativity and innovation across disparate cultures and time periods. From the Vault features nearly 30 works—rarely on view due to their sensitivity to light—including 12 large-format tapestries and tapestry fragments spanning Antiquity to the present day.
