Recent Acquisitions
March 6, 2009 - January 3, 2010

In the past eight decades, The Textile Museum’s collection has grown from a modest group of 275 rugs and 60 related textiles to nearly 18,000 objects from around the world. Each year, through the generosity of private donors and through income from endowed funds, the Museum’s holdings continue to evolve.

This exhibition will celebrate the Museum’s rich collection and share with the public a selection of 19 of the most artistically and culturally compelling objects The Textile Museum has acquired within the last five years. Exhibited pieces will include hats from Peru and Cameroon and a turban from India, a contemporary batik from Java, Indonesia, a Turkish prayer rug, and a grass raincoat from China, among others.
