A rare chance

to see the Burrell's prized collection of suzanis – richly embroidered wall hangings from Uzbekistan. This exhibition looks at how these exquisite works were created, and considers the lives of the women who made them and the multi-cultural society that they were a product of.The exhibition also includes carpets from western China and Iran, and textiles from Central Asia and Turkey. These help illustrate the exchange of artistic influences between Uzbekistan and other areas along the Silk Road trade route.
