Colorfully woven silk ribbons featuring various motifs and in a range of qualities, as well as cocoons, spools, shuttles, and printing blocks, are available for visitors to touch during this guided tour of the exhibition “Silk Ribbon: Capital, Art & Crisis.” The tour is open to anyone interested and is designed for people with visual impairments—visitors can touch numerous objects. These original objects, along with a fully operational Säger loom from 1900 and excerpts from interviews with contemporary witnesses, allow visitors to experience through sound and touch how a precious silk ribbon is created from a silkworm pupa.
