Excellence in the field of antique textile art, Gallery Moshe Tabibnia is committed to collecting, scholarly research and specialised publishing. Following this vocation, the gallery has become a reference point for connoisseurs of historic carpets, tapestries and textiles from all over the world. With its innovative exhibition space complying with museum standards, which has been designed by studio Gerosa, the gallery comprises a study centre, a specialised library, and a laboratory for scientific analysis, textile conservation and restoration.
The primary aim of the study centre is to research the collection of the gallery. While keeping updated with ongoing studies and research finds, the study centre shares its bulk of knowledge and resources organising cultural initiatives and supporting visiting scholars and collectors.
A precious resource and research tool accessible at the gallery is the specialised library, which is open to the public by appointment.
The laboratory not only ensures the preservation of the pieces in the collection, but also offers high standard services to private and institutional clients, including scientific analysis of textiles, preventive and remedial conservation, and customised showcasing solutions.
Often in collaboration with renowned international institutions, the gallery organises and participates to large scale cultural events, including exhibitions that are outstanding for their contribution to the sphere of knowledge and the rarity of the pieces displayed. Also to mention are the conferences, which are held involving foremost scholars and experts in the field of textiles.
The commitment to education and disclosure of scholarly research finds, which is a major undertaking for the Gallery Moshe Tabibnia, underpins the editorial activity of Moshe Tabibnia Publisher specialising in publications of either historic or scientific interest in the field of antique textile art.
