For anyone in the northern Texas area or who might be visiting the Meadows Museum at SMU will be hosting an exhibition of the the 15th Century Pastrana tapestries. Here is a link to an article about the exhibit: http://www.smu.edu/News/2012/meadows-tap...
Oh I won't be able to get to the exhibit, but I really appreciate the link. I'm very interested in Medieval/Renaissance Tapestries! I'm sure the exhibit website includes some great information.
Cheers,
Erica
I don't know if I will be able to make the exhibit or not either and I only live 100 miles away but sometimes Dallas feels like it is on the other side of the world! I too love medieval / Renaissance tapestries - it is part and parcel of my love for early modern European history focusing on England. Even though it was not my focus in school the history of textiles has always been fascinating to me and an ongoing topic of individual study.
