Quaker Tapestry Museum reopens

The Quaker Tapestry Museum has re-opened

The Quaker Tapestry Museum in Kendal Meeting house has re-opened its doors to the public and been given a new look.  The museum was closed for five months for refurbishment after major damp problems were discovered in the building.

A special event, which highlights some of the significant contributions that Quakers have made to society, will be held at the museum on Saturday 22 June.

Visitors are invited to come and listen to talks and activities throughout the day. They will provide a rare behind the scenes insight into museum life and some of the Quakers who have shaped history.

A feature of the day will be a talk by guest curator Julian Abraham. He will discuss the ‘Barrett Friendship Quilt’, one of the artefacts in the Quaker Tapestry collection, which has connections to the Victorian art world and William Morris.
