The Finishing Touch: Accessories from the Bolivian Highlands

The Finishing Touch: Accessories from the Bolivian Highlands, on view at The Textile Museum February 15 through September 18, 2008, invites visitors to explore the liveliness and diversity of the region's woven and knitted textiles. The Museum's first new exhibition of 2008, The Finishing Touch features a charming group of belts, bags and other accessories made and used by the indigenous people of the Andean highlands. A large group of traditional Bolivian textiles acquired by the Museum in late 2007 inspired the exhibition and comprises the bulk of the more than 100 objects on view. Complementing these objects are other Andean textiles drawn from The Textile Museum's collection. The Finishing Touch: Accessories from the Bolivian Highlands is curated by Ann P. Rowe, the Museum's Curator of Western Hemisphere Collections.
