The Touring Exhibition

To celebrate the creative skills and hard work by the women and children who participated in the original Mughal Tent project, the V&A co-ordinated a tour of some of the textile panels throughout Britain and abroad. All the textile panels will be returned to the groups by the end of May 2001.
