Love Affair with Woolen Textiles

   As a little diversion from her "real job", Tracy works on the stabilization and repair of a late medieval tapestry in the textile lab at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts. Click to view the whole tapestry: The Ship of Virtues (MIA 42.15, 13' x 13', silk and wool. Tournai, about 1528-1540). The tapestry will probably be on exhibition in 2007.
