Native North American Textiles

The Cleveland Museum of Art is showcasing two beautiful Diné (Navajo) rugs from the late 1800s as part of its permanent collection display. These woven textiles were created for collectors outside the Native community and draw inspiration from traditional Diné shoulder blankets. It's a chance to see authentic historical craftsmanship and learn about this important cultural art form. This exhibition runs through mid-December, and admission to the museum is completely free. Families can visit at their own pace and explore these textiles alongside other ongoing exhibits. It's an accessible way to introduce kids to Native American history and artistic traditions right here in Cleveland.
