Event:CREU Conversations: Curatorial Archaeology – Tracing the Story of the Caernarfon Castle Blanket

National Wool Museum

Tickets on sale soon!

Explore the history of one of Wales’s most distinctive blanket designs through a fascinating hands-on session.

Join us to discover the sheep and wool industry in Wales and explore woollen objects from the Museum’s collection, including an original Double Castle blanket. Through close observation and discussion, you’ll learn how a design develops over time and how curators use objects as evidence to uncover stories about materials, production and changing tastes.

The talk will be delivered in English.
