Embroidery in the Middle Ages
For everyone
Embroidery in silk, gold and silver thread was one of the most highly valued and prestigious arts of the Middle Ages. And yet, today, these works are not at all well known. From 24 October 2019 to 20 January 2020, the Musée de Cluny, the National Museum of the Middle Ages, shines a light on the range of work produced in Europe in its "Embroidery in the Middle Ages" exhibition.
Curators: Christine Descatoire (Chief Curator of Heritage, Musée de Cluny), Astrid Castres (Senior Lecturer, École pratique des hautes études) and Nadège Gauffre-Fayolle (independent researcher), associate curators.
Co-produced by Rmn-GP.
