Category: Exhibitions

The ongoing Sartirana Textile Show includes an important, and sophisticated mounted, special educational exhibition of Chinese, Inner Mongolian and Tibetan saddle rugs from the de Jong and de Rode Collection.

“My mission with my study and this exhibition is to show rugs as a form of art, objects that should be dealt with respect and not considered just as floor covering.” said Koos De Jong to Jozan Magazine.
