Intricately woven, fine wool cloth from the Kashmir region of the Indian subcontinent—known as cashmere or pashmina—has been admired across cultures for centuries. Join curatorial fellow Marina Kliger to learn how these luxurious textiles were worn, depicted, imitated, and reused in Europe and the Middle East at the height of their popularity during the 18th and 19th centuries. This talk focuses on the installation Woven for the World: Picturing Kashmiri Textiles across Cultures, in gallery 2200.


This gallery talk is part of our New on View series, highlighting recent gallery installations and presenting new insights into recent acquisitions or old favorites.
