Even though we are closed to the public right now due to COVID-19, we are still working hard on our upcoming slate of exhibits. Collections Assistant Nicole Wilkinson is applying a cotton muslin sleeve to the reverse of a recently acquired Belgian tapestry in the Galt’s collection.
Nicole is being extraordinarily careful to stitch the sleeve to the tapestry via holes in its loose weave. This tapestry was selected for display as part of Curator Aimee Benoit's upcoming exhibit, Made In, which explores where our "stuff" comes from, how that has changed over time, and what that says about how our objects' origins reflect our community and the broader geopolitical context.
