A hundred years after the fall of the Ottoman Empire, the Museum
Funf Kontinente is showing the special exhibition In trockenen
Tuchern! Gewebtes und Besticktes aus dem Osmanischen Reich [A
Stitch in Time! Woven and Embroidered Textiles from the Ottoman
Empire]. The accompanying publication provides an insight into the
different aspects of inhabitants' life during the Late Ottoman
Empire, based on selected textiles and everyday items from the
collections of the Museum Funf Kontinente as well as the private
collections of Ther and Middendorf. Together with their rural
counterparts featuring woven red and blue patterns, the napkins and
hand towels from the 18th to 20th century, artistically embroidered
with blossom, fruits, or architectural elements, accompanied people
from cradle to grave and bear impressive witness to their
craftsmanship. Today these textile objects are a significant part
of the cultural legacy of Turkey. Text in German with partial
Turkish translation.
