More information on this exhibition
This exhibition has been organized to let people know more about the precious art of the tapestry. These masterpieces have been stayed hidden for a long time. The most problematic aspect of setting this kind of exhibition is the unavoidable deterioration of the tapestries which have to be mantained taking care of many aspects such as the light, the temperature, the dust and many others.
That is the reason all these magnificent tapestries were removed from the UffiziGallery in 1987. Now, visitors will be able to admire 17 precious tapestries some from the Flamish manifactiring and some from the Florentine one.
