Embroidery art in the Middle Ages

Embroidery with silk, gold and silver threads is one of the most precious and prestigious arts of the Middle Ages. And yet... These works are nowadays unknown. The museum has one of the most beautiful collections of embroidery from the 12th to 16th centuries in the world. This exhibition is an opportunity for them to interact with other masterpieces from international collections. Curator: Christine Descatoire (Chief Curator of Heritage, Musée de Cluny), Astrid Castres (Senior Lecturer, Ecole pratique des hautes études) and Nadège Gauffre-Fayolle (independent researcher), Associate Curators.
