On a thread or the art of dressing in the Middle Ages

Presentation

Temporary exhibition

From the Arthurian epic to the courtly novel via hagiographical stories, literary genres show clothing in its diversity, both a protective and defensive envelope for the body.
A true social marker in the Middle Ages, clothing distinguishes the individual who wears it through the materials, the colors, the very nature of the textiles without forgetting the accessories: shoes, jewelry, furs.

Within this exhibition, a multiple and colorful West is revealed, where adornments and fabrics are much more than a question of appearance. Objects of art, textiles, sculptures but also precious manuscripts and pieces of armor are revealed within a unique scenography for a hand-sewn visit.

As part of the Des Habits et Nous cultural season, supported by the Department of Isère
