Remarkable for their inventiveness and beauty, needlework samplers are historical documents written by girls on silk and linen with needles.
Don't miss this remarkable show of needlework samplers stitched by girls, mostly aged 5 to 16, between 1689 and 1850. On display through April 30.
Sampler collector and historian Alexandra Peters talks about how these needleworks made before 1850 show us life before the Industrial Revolution from the often surprising perspective of young women.
