One hundred fifty-four choice selections of Guatemalan weaving from the world's largest and finest collection. For their rich diversity of intricate pattern, color and skilled craftsmanship as well as for their sheer beauty, Guatemalan textiles have been acclaimed the finest in the world, equaled only by pre-Columbian weavings of Peru.

Throughout the exhibition demonstrations of weaving were given by two Mayan women from Guatemala.
