The exhibition "Splendour of Anatolia" takes place in

The exhibition includes rare kilims , various furnished nomadic tents, a traditionally harnessed camel and attractive film material of
the nomadic culture in Anatolia. The colourful kilims are a part of internationally renowned private
collections. The kilims are woven by nomadic people - Turkmens, Yoruks and Kurds -

kilims are typical for Islamic art.

Böhmer.
