The Fabric of India at the Victoria & Albert Museum

This comprehensive exhibition pulls together a vast number of exhibits, many collected in the 19th century for what was once the India Museum in London (1801-1879). It explores the wide variety of materials and techniques used to create textiles both for everyday use, and for the wealthy. It also documents the history of India's export of textiles all over the world.
