Gallery Talk: Woven for the World: Picturing Kashmiri Textiles Across Cultures

Intricately woven, fine wool cloth from the Kashmir region of the Indian subcontinent—known as cashmere or pashmina—has been admired across cultures for centuries. Join curatorial fellow Marina Kliger on Tuesday, Sept. 24 to learn how these luxurious textiles were worn, depicted, imitated, and reused in Europe and the Middle East at the height of their popularity during the 18th and 19th centuries. This talk focuses on the installation "Woven for the World: Picturing Kashmiri Textiles across Cultures," in gallery 2200.

Please check in with museum staff at the Visitor Services desk in the Calderwood Courtyard to request to join the gallery talk. Talks are limited to 18 people and are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Registration is not required.
