Thanks Amy!
Until I saw this show I had no idea that Tapastries were so important in the 16th and 17th centuries - more important than paintings - even, at least, to many of the Royal Courts that commissioned the works.
I only wish I had given my self more time - there was too much to take in for just one visit.
