Celebration of Textiles: Comfort at Home

The museum celebrates its 40th-annual free community festival with a unique look at carpets, curtains, cushions, and other textiles for the home. Watch local artists weave, spin, embroider, and more. Enjoy music and dance performances, and explore spectacular fabrics from the ancient Mediterranean through family-friendly tours of Woven Interiors: Furnishing Early Medieval Egypt.

Celebrate the tradition of use of textiles for home furnishings. Provide participants with hands-on activities and demonstrations of  textile reuse in the making of home textiles.
