Guided tour: Silk ribbon. Capital, Art & Crisis
The exhibition shows life around the loom, the creation of ribbons and the importance of silk ribbon as a luxury and export item. Various examples of ribbons, woven at home and in factories, show the beauty of the fashionable silk ribbon. Two working looms are a special attraction: a shuttle loom controlled by punched cards (around 1900) and a needle loom (around 1970).
