Needlepoint paintings patiently assembled by Chantal and Dominique Dekester at the turn of the millennium.
In an age of immediacy, embroidered pictures bear witness to the constancy, patience and education of young girls and the activities of religious institutions.
Sensitive objects, often anonymous, they express taste, devotion or love. From the collection assembled by Chantal and Dominique Dekester between 1990 and 2010, these 34 embroidered pictures plunge us into the art of needle and thread, alongside the tapestries and paintings on permanent display at the museum.
