Gallery of the Tapestries
The Gallery of the Tapestries fills a long museum corridor with woven scenes. It offers a material change between classical sculpture and the painted maps that follow.
Why go
These large textiles ask you to notice image-making through thread rather than pigment or carved stone. Their sequence also gives the corridor its own identity, even though many visitors pass through it on the way to other galleries. Spending time with a single panel can reveal details lost when the whole run is viewed from a distance.
What to look for
Large woven scenes line the corridor.
The gallery sits between classical displays and the map corridor.
Useful to know
Choose one tapestry for a close look before walking the full length.
