So what is it? Velvet ? Embroidery? In this year's special exhibition, not everything is as it seems at first glance. The theme is textile trompe l’œils, that is, the representation of fabrics and their distinctive qualities in other textile arts. The exhibited fabrics, embroideries, wall hangings and vestments, dating from the fourth to the seventeenth centuries, are prime examples of textile trompe l’œils that invite the viewer to take a closer look.
