One carpet here hangs on the wall like a tapestry, a first for The Met. It is nearly 30 feet long, woven with Euterpe and Erato, the muses of music and lyric poetry, and delivered in 1688 as one of 92 pieces Louis XIV ordered to cover the 440-meter Grande Galerie of the Louvre. None was ever rolled out there: the king moved on to Versailles.

Four complete carpets fill the Wrightsman Galleries, with fragments and a trial weave possibly made by a trainee. The Met is frank about who did the weaving: orphans and homeless children gathered from Paris streets for their sharp eyes and nimble fingers. Laid end to end, the full set would have outrun The Met's own Fifth Avenue facade.

You can also watch textile conservators repairing one carpet in a temporary studio inside the gallery. The show is in Galleries 524 to 528, included with Museum admission, and runs until March 5, 2028.

Ez galdu

  • The Music carpet on the wall

    Look up at Grande Galerie carpet no. 11, with Euterpe and Erato woven into nearly 30 feet of wool pile, hung vertically like a tapestry for the first time at The Met.

  • Fame and Fortitude, mid-repair

    Carpet no. 38, the first Grande Galerie carpet to reach America and once Alva Vanderbilt's, is the one conservators are strengthening in the in-gallery studio.

  • The Landscapes carpet

    Carpet no. 73 is one of the narrower pieces, with a landscape woven at each end; it served the French ambassador in Madrid and survived the Revolution and the Spanish Civil War.

  • Marie Antoinette's game-room rug

    An Apollo Gallery carpet woven in 1664 to 1666, later laid in Marie Antoinette's temporary game rooms in 1785 and then owned by the Rothschilds, on loan from a private collection.
