Public Tour of the Special Exhibition

Description

Textiles played an important role in late antique living spaces. They were luxury goods and status symbols at the same time, provided protection against cold and drafts, created coziness, and gave the interiors color and representative shine. The masterfully designed wall hangings, curtains, upholstery, and blankets, which can be seen in the new special exhibition of the Abegg Foundation, provide a vivid insight into the living culture of that time.
