The Fondation Toms Pauli and mudac are pleased to unveil the forthcoming exhibition at the museum, devoted to the wall tapestry as a vehicle for political and social expression. Bringing together 17th-century masterpieces from the Toms collection alongside contemporary creations by Goshka Macuga and Grayson Perry, the exhibition will present largely monumental works that underscore the tapestry’s role as both a medium of reflection and a tool of propaganda.
