Description

Our new intimate exhibition, Tales of Textiles: The RSN Collection in Focus highlights the life of key pieces from the Royal School of Needlework’s Collection & Archive with a focus on English embroidery. Objects on display span three centuries and tell a story of wear and use, protection and care, tradition and innovation, and stitchers domestic and professional.

Our Talk & Private View lasts for 1 hour and 15 minutes (exhibition style, folded chairs are available for seating) and begins with a 40 minute illustrated lecture from an RSN staff member.

The presentation will give you in-depth information about the exhibition as well as background information about the Royal School of Needlework.

After your talk, you will be shown objects from Tales of Textiles: The RSN Collection in Focus by one of our knowledgeable volunteer guides.

This event is strictly limited to 15 guests and you will have an opportunity to visit our beautiful on-site RSN Shop after your private view.
