Description
From colourful 30,000-year old threads found on the floor of a Georgian cave to what the linen wrappings of Tutankhamun's mummy actually meant; from the woollen sails that enabled the Vikings to reach America to the Indian calicoes and chintzes that powered the Industrial Revolution, our continuing reinvention of cloth tells fascinating stories of human ingenuity. Running like a bright line through history, The Golden Thread offers an unforgettable adventure through our past, present and future.
