Civilizations and cultures all around the world have used tapestries to share stories. These woven pictures speak of people, places, and moments in time.

Weaving is a beautiful and careful art, where the weaver uses a loom and thread to create something lasting and meaningful. In the same way, history is like a grand tapestry.
