Mongolians have produced felt for over 2,000 years, and this ground-breaking show is a rare opportunity to discover its beauty and importance to a unique way of life.

Exhibition runs from 9 August - 28 September in the museum's Scott Gallery. For details of opening times, visit the Hawick Museum page here.

The first exhibition to be shown in the UK in collaboration with the three main feltmaking associations of Mongolia - supported by the Mongolian Arts Council. Mongolians have produced felt for over 2,000 years, making it an integral part of their lifestyle, embodying clothing, containers, furnishings and the very structure of their homes. Exhibits in this ground-breaking show include documentary footage of felt making processes and translations of traditional poems.
