Conserving the King Arthur Tapestry

5 min. watch

Follow the conservation treatment of “King Arthur” from the Nine Heroes Tapestries series, among the oldest in The Met’s collection. The tapestry had not been treated since 1949, when it first came into The Met’s collection. Watch as conservators clean, stabilize, and reweave fragile areas of the work, finally reinstalling it at The Cloisters where it is now on view in gallery 18.

Featuring:
Kathrin Colburn, Kisook Suh, Anna Szalecki, Janina Poskrobko
