From the Collection: Peruvian Textiles

Quipus, knotted strings used by the Inca people for record keeping, have served as an inspiration for Cecilia Vicuña, whose exhibition About to Happen is on view at the Henry. Examine up-close a selection of Peruvian textiles drawn from the museum's collection and discuss their unique properties.

From the Collection is a recurring program that delves into the Henry's extensive collection, highlighting a different group of objects each month. Join us for group discussions and the opportunity to see art rarely on public view.
