Heritage Dresses: Memory Trail

With Museum Registrar Baha Al-Jubeh

Sunday, December 19th | 16:00-17:00
Location: Palestinian Museum
The tour will be in Arabic

Join us to learn the story of 80 Palestinian embroidered dresses (thobes) that travelled from Palestine to the United States three decades ago. The thobes were acquired and preserved by Palestinian and Arab-American women from the Committee for the Preservation of Palestinian Heritage (CPPH), in Washington, D.C. This collection of thobes and accessories were recently returned to their homeland in Palestine and are to be preserved in the Palestinian Museum.
