Curator’s Tour: Between the Sea and the Desert March 12, 2008

Join Natalia Nekrassova in the galleries for a tour of Between the Sea and the Desert.

Every thread has a soul – this Arab proverb is particularly true for the textile culture of Maghreb, the most north-western part of Africa. Between the Sea and the Desert showcases a collection of hand woven rugs, shawls and garments. For this exhibition, the Textile Museum of Canada is introducing its rich and rare Northwest African collection for the first time. This collection is one of the only and best of its kind in North America.

Free with admission.
