 _Invention_of_Glory_Afonso_V_and_the_Pastrana_Tapestries\nEvent Date Begin
 : 2012-10-27\nEvent Date End: 2012-12-31\n\nMonumental in scale and meticu
 lous in construction\, the Pastrana Tapestries are one of the finest examp
 les of Gothic tapestry in existence. The four\, 36-foot-long tapestries ar
 e on view together for the first time as part of a rare U.S. tour that fol
 lows an extensive restoration project. Expertly woven in Belgium's Tournai
  workshops in the late 1400s\, the Pastrana Tapestries are singular for th
 eir depiction of a contemporary subject: the military victories of Portuga
 l's King Afonso V (1432-1481) in North Africa. Through vibrantly colored w
 ool and silk threads\, a vivid scene of military pomp and conquest emerges
  -- knights in full regalia raise their swords to the sky\, royal trumpete
 rs sound their advance\, ships' masts punctuate the horizon and scenes of 
 battle teem with valor and might. PEM is the exclusive Northeast venue for
  The Invention of Glory\, which will be presented as an immersive\, single
  gallery experience.\n\nStart time: 10:00 am - 5:00 pm Tuesday through Sun
 day. Closed Mondays\, except holidays.\nVisit www.pem.org/visit for comple
