Turkmen Rugs Exhibit in San Francisco

06.24.08 | 1 Comment

There’s a fantastic exhibit about Turkmen rugs, called For Tent and Trade: Masterpieces of Turkmen Weaving going on at San Francisco’s de Young Museum in Golden Gate Park.

More than 40 interesting pieces of Turkmen weaving, many quite old, should entice any San Francisco area local with an interest in Central Asian art to make it out to the showing, which runs until September 7.

Also on display are five embroidered women’s mantles (ornamental Turkmen robes) which are quite impressive.
