This exhibition catalogue of the Museum August Kestner in Hanover, Germany, contains a greeting [Nosch, Wagner-Hasel], a foreword with acknowledgements [Loeben], four academic articles on "Textiles from Egypt in the Museum August Kestner" and three papers on "The exhibition Strong fabrics for colourful images - Textile treasures from Egypt". There are also exhibition credits, illustration credits and references to related online resources. The seven essays deal with the "Interwoven history/-ies" of textile treasures from the cemeteries of Akhmim in Egypt and objects from the museums stocks, including the only completely preserved antique garment, a childs tunic [Moldenhauer], its different reconstruction possibilities with sleeves worn or by-passed [Feustel], its scientific documentation and conservation [Dubuis, Lin] and the collection of 31 older textiles from Egypt in the August Kestner Museum [Loeben]. With regard to the articles on the exhibition itself, the focus is on Coptic life today [Bernhauer], thoughts on the exhibition design [Moock] and impressions from the exhibition and its opening [Jürges].weiterlesen
