Glencairn Museum members are invited to an exclusive first look at Rushnyky: Sacred Ukrainian Textiles, a loaned exhibition showcasing the beauty and cultural significance of Ukrainian embroidered cloths. The morning will feature an illustrated talk by an expert on Ukrainian textiles. In almost any Ukrainian home, the family icons—and more recently, family photographs—would be draped with rushnyky, offering protection to the family, home, and village. These cloths appear in all family rituals: infants are wrapped in them at birth, and they play a central role in betrothal and wedding ceremonies. Guests will also enjoy catered refreshments, time to explore the exhibition, and access to the Museum’s first floor.
