What to expect
Thread of Gold: The Radiance of Textile Arts Through the Ages
The Musée du quai Branly – Jacques Chirac invites you on an exceptional journey through time and space with its exhibition "Thread of Gold", running from February 11 to July 6, 2025. This unique exhibition sheds light on the fascinating history of gold in textile arts, from Antiquity to the present day, through the sumptuous fabrics of the Maghreb, the Middle East, India, China, and Japan.
Gold, a symbol of prestige, power, and excellence, has always held a special place in human history. Associated with the most refined fabrics, it has crossed civilizations to adorn sovereigns, dignitaries, and artists. "Thread of Gold" offers a unique opportunity to admire rare and precious pieces, showcasing ancient craftsmanship and traditions that continue to inspire contemporary fashion.
An Immersion in Textile History and the Radiance of Gold
Since Antiquity, gold has never ceased to fascinate. The noblest of metals, it was initially used for jewelry, weapons, and sacred objects before being incorporated into textiles for the elites. The Romans, Byzantines, Persians, Chinese, and Muslim artisans developed sophisticated techniques to intertwine gold threads with silk, linen, or cotton, creating sumptuous fabrics that expressed prestige and wealth.
The exhibition "Thread of Gold" invites you to discover how this material transformed the art of textiles over the centuries. From gold-embroidered funerary ornaments to the sumptuous robes of Chinese emperors, refined silks from India and Indonesia, and the shimmering kimonos of Japan, each piece on display tells a captivating story. The exhibition concludes with creations by Guo Pei, a contemporary Chinese designer who continues to elevate gold in her haute couture designs.
