Braiding - a cultural technique, thousands of years old, practiced worldwide, regionally distinctive and still today handicraft in the truest sense of the word: Only man has mastered the complex braiding technique, no machine can replace him. The exhibition focuses on the fascination of this skill and shows the interconnections between historically grown knowledge and modern innovation.
