Čarolija tekstila / The Magic of Textiles exhibition

Published May 12, 2025

Čarolija tekstila / The Magic of Textiles: Materials, Tools and Production Techniques is an exhibition shown at the Ethnographic Museum in Dubrovnik, Croatia.

The exhibition design combines tradition and modernity to celebrate the rich heritage of textile craftsmanship. The layout guides visitors through a narrative journey, beginning with the tools and materials used in textile production and culminating in the vibrant display of traditional garments. Transparent vitrines and bilingual informational panels create an immersive experience, while use of red accents evokes passion and tradition, standing out against the neutral tones of the historical stone walls.

Central to the design are the spinning wheels, looms, and other tools, elevated from utilitarian objects to symbols of cultural and historical significance. Intricate textiles, embroidery, and patterns are showcased as art, with quotes and sayings adding a personal, reflective touch. By integrating the historical venue's authentic textures with a modern aesthetic, the exhibition creates a harmonious space that honors the past while inspiring the present, offering visitors a meaningful connection to the artistry and traditions of textile production.
