Dear All, As the curator for the
textile collections at the musée du quai Branly, I am looking for information (practical
examples) about the displaying of textiles in the permanent exhibition of other
museums, in order to have points of comparison to our own politics (which is to
exhibit many textiles in the permanent exhibition and to change them all
regularly). Any information you’d
have about the following points would be helpful: 1) How do museums exhibit
textiles in their permanent exhibition: is there any example of textile
rotation in order to always have textiles exhibited? What are the criteria and how
often are then the pieces changed? Or are textiles only exhibited at some
specific occasions? Or are they just permanently exhibited and for how long
then? Any information about the
choices for permanent exhibitions is welcome. 2) About practical aspects
of displaying textiles in the permanent exhibition: light control, mounting of 2D
(flat) textiles? Maybe there are books or
articles you would advice about the choices of different museums? Thank you for your help! Best Regards, Anne-Solène Rolland Textile Curator Tel : +33 1 56 61 71 96 courriel : anne-solene.rolland@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Musée du quai Branly Département du Patrimoine et des
