Middle Ages...TAPESTRIES at the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC

IN 2012 the National Gallery had an exhibition titled:
The Invention of Glory: Afonso V and the Pastrana Tapestries

We are lucky to be able to view portions of the exhibition on the museum's website. The tapestries that were on display were restored prior to the exhibition. They "commemorate the conquest of two strategically located cities in Morocco by the king of Portugal, Afonso V".
