Join National Trust Senior National Curator Emma Slocombe and Rebecca Feakes, Property Librarian at Blickling, for an illuminating talk exploring the ideas and histories behind the new exhibition Journeys: Global Textiles from the Karun Thakar Collection at Blickling Hall.
Journeys brings together a vibrant selection of global textiles from the internationally renowned collection of Karun Thakar with Blickling Hall’s remarkable library and interiors, revealing the country house as a meeting point of cultures, where the threads and texts of history interweave.
The talk will be followed by a Q&A where Emma and Rebecca are joined by Heather Jermy, General Manager and Megan Dennis, Property Experiences Curator — an opportunity to delve deeper into the collection and the research behind the exhibition.
