Woven by women to adorn tents and camel caravans, kilims are enduring records of life in Turkeyʹs nomadic communities, as well as stunning examples of abstract art. This exhibition marks the public debut of treasures from the museum's Murad Megalli collection of Anatolian kilims dating to the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
