Join us for a talk with our textile assessor this Wednesday to discuss textile conservation and specific works within the Brooks collection!
Textiles in the MBMA collection represent almost every method of production with many created by hand. Dr. Ordoñez will be sharing examples that represent the breadth of the textiles collection as well as the depth of some specific styles and techniques over centuries. The collection contains some real masterpieces.
Free and open to the public.
