“Like old fashioned ‘Ladies’, art galleries and workshops follow each other along the city’s luxurious streets with no glaring lights. [...] No doubt there are many ‘pearls’ enriching these streets. Yet, one is absolutely unique: Moshe Tabibnia Gallery, a showcase of antique textile arts encompassing over 2000 historic carpets and tapestries, which represent the more remarkable gathering of antique textile artefacts in the whole world. Indeed, Milan boasts an impressive number of collectors who’ve made this city the capital of antique textiles: at the Moshe Tabibnia Gallery you can ‘explore an unknown land’ and discover a treasure trove of antique carpets and tapestries well deserving to belong to a museum collection [...]. You may also learn that historically more important, and in beauty a rival of any, is the great carpet with hunting scenes in the Poldi Pezzoli Museum, Milan, which will be displayed, along with other wonderful pieces, in a temporary exhibition entitled ‘The Rediscovered Fragment’ showing until 18 October 2008.”
