The permanent exhibition presents the highlights of the collection. These include ancient wall hangings preserved in the sandy deserts of Egypt, kaftans from Central Asia and Mongolia, silk robes from China’s Liao Dynasty and sumptuous fabrics woven in Europe between the twelfth and eighteenth centuries. Paintings, sculptures and important works of applied art are also exhibited and shed light on the interrelationships between textiles and other arts.
