Great Tapestry at New Lanark on a roll!
November 2014
In just two weeks, over 4,000 visitors have flocked to New Lanark World Heritage Site to see the Great Tapestry of Scotland. The tapestry exhibition opened at New Lanark on Monday 20 October, and has already been very well received with “Out of this world”, “Extremely impressive” and “Great History lesson” being among some of the comments left so far.
At 143m, this stunning Scottish artwork is the world’s largest embroidered tapestry and tells the story of Scotland’s history, from the ice age to modern times, in a series of more than 160 panels.
Jane Masters, Heritage Manager at New Lanark said: “We are delighted with the response to the Great Tapestry in the first few weeks here at New Lanark. It really is the perfect setting for this spectacular work of art, and we hope many more people come down to see it over the coming weeks. To celebrate the tapestry being here at New Lanark we have an exciting programme of free workshops, talks and exhibitions going on – all the details are on our website www.newlanark.org”.
So far this year the tapestry has been visited by more than 100,000 people as it has been exhibited throughout Scotland and thousands more are expected to visit New Lanark to get a chance to see this masterpiece before the exhibition closes on 23 November.
