Carpet

We spent our last morning in Copenhagen at the Davids Samling museum, also known as The David Collection, to see their famed collection of Islamic art, the largest of its kind in Scandinavia and among the 10 most important in the Western world. I didn’t make notes so can’t identify most of the objects photographed, but it was truly an outstanding exhibition and beautifully displayed. More information can be found on the museum’s site http://www.davidmus.dk/en/collections/islamic

Those rich colours are glorious and I imagine that something like this in a room would add so much warmth. V

This is a work of art. Fittingly hung instead of walked on. Great capture. V.
