Exhibition of Quilts at the V & A Museum

Quilts 1700-2010

The V & A will present its first ever exhibition of British quilts. It is a unique opportunity to view the V & A's unseen quilt collection as well as key national loans.
Earliest examples include a sumptuous silk and velvet bedcover, with an oral narrative that links it to King Charles II's visit to an Exeter manor house in the late 17th century.
Recent examples will include works by leading artists such as Grayson Perry and Tracey Emin.
The exhibition will be presented chronologically and thematically. The contemporary works will include the following themes: The Domestic Landscape; Private Thoughts; Public Debates; British Eccentricity; Making a Living and Memory and Memorial.
The Exhibition will begin on the 20th March and will end on the 4th July, 2010.
It sounds really interesting and well worth a visit.
