Tapestry on Public View

On loan from Museum Rockoxhuis (Rockox House) in Antwerp – Belgium is this incredibly fine pre-Renaissance Flemish tapestry representing the mythological Garden of Love. The tapestry is on display up at EMH, from Easter to 31 – October – 2011.

In the United Kingdom, EMH stands testament to the northern renaissance, thus making the perfect venue for exhibitions into that world – our window into northern renaissance. This fabulous tapestry is an absolute MUST see!
