This online exhibition from the The Museum of Russian Art (TMORA) is one of a series of digital archives of past exhibitions at TMORA, made possible by a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services. Originally on display March through December of 2010, all items in the show were loaned by a private collector, making the web exhibition the only way to see these artifacts together now. The sections in the exhibition include an Introduction: The Culture of Cloth; Traditional Dress; Embroidery: An Ancient Language; views of a diorama showing textiles in use in a peasant household in the Vologda region in the late nineteenth century; Ethnographic Dolls; a gallery of photographs; and a section on the prialka, a Russian form of the distaff used for hand spinning. The photo gallery is browseable, but once a visitor has selected an example in one of the sections, such as the Russian shirt, under Traditional Dress, it's necessary to resort to the browser back button, or link to the TMORA home page, to get back to the rest of the exhibition. Other archived exhibitions in the series include Russian Imperial Porcelain, Architecture in Imperial St. Petersburg, photographs by Sergei M. Prokudin-Gorskii, and icons from Yaroslavl, Russia.
