| Event Name: | Quilts at Victoria and Albert Museum |
| Description: | Quilts are valued as objects of solace and comfort, representing warmth, safekeeping, beauty and our ancestral past. As vessels for individual and collective memories, they also document love and marriage, births and deaths, periods of intense patriotic fervour and developments in taste and fashion. The extraordinary variety of each object testifies to the skill of its maker, challenging the assumption that stitching is simply womens work.
This exhibition will showcase the V&As collection of patchwork and quilted covers to bring together over 300 years of British quilting history, from the spectacular bed hangings and silk coverlets of the 18th century, to the creative reinvention of the quilt by contemporary artists.
Admission charge will apply
