A Story of Islamic Embroidery

A Story of Islamic Embroidery

A Story of Islamic Embroidery in Nomadic and Urban Traditions at Gallery One, Emirates Palace in Abu Dhabi, brings together more than 200 rare and majestic textiles, including a wealth of embroideries from Central Asia never before exhibited in the region, that permit visitors to explore the exchange of trade and culture across the Silk Road and beyond.

These works, with their kaleidoscope of motifs and colours, create a form of abstract art and testify to the role of Islamic women in creating an artistic tradition of great significance and beauty.
