The Palestinian Museum launched its new specialist facilities for the storage and restoration of textiles and Palestinian embroidery (Tatreez), including traditional dresses (thobes). The project is born of the Museum’s mission to professionalise the care and display of Palestinian cultural heritage.
The facilities include a professionally equipped space devoted to textiles storage and a heritage textiles conservation studio managed by the newly trained Museum’s Collections team. These facilities will meet the maintenance needs of the Museum’s permanent collection and the private collections of other institutions and individuals.
