„Our exhibition intends to highlight textile archaeology and the importance of textiles for communities on their way from nomadic to settled lifestyle. Textiles are not only clothing: therefore, our exhibition highlights the variety of different functions which will not only be presented in texts and figures. The exhibition provides quizzes, audio stations and other hands-on stations as well as several illustrations and texts which are written in easy to understand language.”
