The Savonnerie carpets woven for Louis XIV, shown for eighteen months from 8 September 2026. A textile of that size is rarely unrolled, which is why the run is long. Free with museum admission.

The Iconotheca Letter

One artwork and its story every Tuesday, with the picture: who owned it, what it made, and what closes soon in the exhibition calendar. No promotion, and nothing we cannot cite.
