The textiles collection
The textiles collection is the single largest collection at the museum and includes many different kinds of textiles: Coptic tapestries, Chinese silk, lace, Nordic allmoge (folk art) weavings, embroidery, modern textile images, etc.
There are textiles found in Egyptian soil, Chinese silk fabrics, carpets, fine weaving from Bohusland, Nordic rya rugs, knitted garments and samples and pattern drawings from Bohus stickning (1939-1969), textile art from the 1900s and modern printed fabrics. The museum’s textile collection is rich and wide-ranging, though the museum has a restrictive approach to acquiring older textiles and only accepts individual objects of a high quality. As regards contemporary textiles, the museum makes ongoing acquisitions of new idioms.
