The new intimate exhibition, Tales of Textiles: The RSN Collection in Focus highlights the life of key pieces from the Royal School of Needlework’s Collection & Archive with a focus on English embroidery.
Objects on display span three centuries and tell a story of wear and use, protection and care, tradition and innovation, and stitchers domestic and professional.
The exhibition takes place in one of the Embroidery Studios at Hampton Court Palace and will run from 25 September 2024 to June 2025.
Bookings start from £25 per person.
Dates and times differ on the type of event you book for.
RSN Curator, Dr Isabella Rosner says:
Through these pieces, we see not only connections between who embroiders and who uses embroidery but also the ever-present hand of the maker and the user, and their humanity is evident in every stitch.
