medieval tapestry
Castle wall decoration
A medieval tapestry is a large woven textile from the Middle Ages, typically depicting religious scenes, hunting parties, or courtly life.
These wall hangings served both decorative and practical purposes—adding color to stone interiors while providing insulation.
The most famous examples, like the Bayeux Tapestry, function as visual narratives of historical events.
The museum's collection includes several medieval tapestries from French monasteries.
