Weaving Europe, Crafting the Museum

Textiles, history and ethnography at the Museum of European Cultures, Berlin

Magdalena Buchczyk, CARMAH, Humboldt University, Berlin, Germany Weaving Europe, Crafting the Museum explores the changing material culture in Europe through in-depth explorations of five textile objects; a weaving tool, a woven basket, a carpet, a waistcoat and a dress. Using textiles from a German museum (the Museum of European Cultures in Berlin) to tell their stories in wideranging chapters, the book locates fabrics as part of a kaleidoscopic story of textile cultures. Combining new archival research with ethnography, it proposes that textiles can be simultaneously used as the material object of research, and as a metaphorical device, a lens through which we can view museums.
