MUSEO degli ARAZZI (TAPESTRY MUSEUM)

These exquisite tapestries depict such scenes as the capture of Jerusalem and the war fought by Titus against the Jews in a.d. 66. The tapestries are kept  in darkened rooms to avoid damage. Below you can read the history of the tapestries. They are so detailed you would think they were paintings.  You can get a better feel for the detailing if you double click on one of the pictures, then you can scroll through them at the bottom of the page.
