Embroiding without couting - the art of the embroidery in Alsace from 16th to 20th century

Tapestries, carpets, textiles
This discovery-exchibit unveils to us Alsacian embroidery and all its aspects through the presentation of nearly 200 pieces. This decorative art, considered a minor art form, nevertheless allows us to confront wise art and popular art, European influences and French creation. Embroidery then becomes the revealing agent of a specific cultural history.
