The Australian National Gallery is displaying the Rajah Quilt during the Craft fair and beyond - it will be on display on the entrance level from 7-29 August, with two accompanying lectures:
Piecing together the Past: The Rajah quilt, by Robert Bell Senior Curator,Decorative Arts and Design, on Friday 8 August at 3pm;
The Rajah quilt: all in the detail, presented by Debbie Ward, Head of Conservation, on Saturday 9 August at 3 pm This is a great opportunity to see the Rajah quilt, which cannot be displayed often and for long due to its fragility.
