Weaving Courtly Life. Textiles and embroideries from the Royal Collections

Patrimonio Nacional houses one of the most important textile collections in the world, comprising exceptional examples of which the majority belonged to or were commissioned by monarchs.
This exhibition presents a group of works, many of them never previously displayed to the public, of extraordinary craftsmanship and beauty, which will allow visitors to discover some of the oldest textile items preserved in the Royal Collections and to learn not only about the most outstanding sets of woven fabrics that adorned State rooms and royal bedrooms, but also about the workings of the different areas or “Offices” within the palace responsible for their creation and management.
