The exhibition highlights the diversity of textile culture. Most exhibits are from the early 19th to the early 20th century.

Caucasian knotted carpets and flatweaves have been exported to Europe and America since the mid 19th century. Although we have always been familiar with their motifs and patterns we hardly know anything about the symbols in knotted and woven textiles made for personal requirements.
When nomadic culture came to its end these textiles became meaningless and were no longer produced. The exhibition wants to demonstrate and explain the ancient context of nomadic culture and Caucasian textile art.
