Δ THEME RELATED GUIDED TOUR “The material of myths: Sacred robes and textile cosmogonies”

With Matthias Claudius Hofmann (research assistant, Weltkulturen Museum)

In all societies, threads, cords and textiles are crucially important culturally. This is particularly evident in myths and legends where textiles or the tools to produce them explain the origins of the world or, for instance, the nature of society. This tour looks specifically at the connection between textiles and their myths.
