Sobre
Fatos rápidos: Visitors wander through galleries of rich texture and color, where hand-knotted rugs gleam under soft lighting and each tiny knot reflects generations of skill. Surprisingly, the collection tops 10,000 items, ranging from miniature prayer rugs to large pictorial carpets that embed local stories and dyeing secrets into their weaves.
Destaques: You approach a building shaped like a giant rolled carpet, its curved glass skin catching the sun so the whole façade shimmers like braided silk. Inside, more than 10,000 handwoven pieces are organized by region and technique, and a supervised exhibit lets you press your palm to a protected wool sample to feel the lanolin-slick softness that makes pomegranate-red and cobalt-blue dyes sing.
