In April (even if I didn't see more than a tiny corner of one of them) there were a range of carpet and textile exhibitions opened in Istanbul, all in connections with the International Conference on Oriental Carpets taking place 10 days ago.
A selections of museums participating can be seen here: Sabanci Museum, the Topkapi Palace (no special exhibition feature, though), Vakiflar Carpet and Kilim Museums and the Museum of Turkish and Islamic Arts all participate. I am sure they are all worth a visit for those of you who take an interest in oriental carpets and/or textile arts and folklore.
Cornucopia lifestyle magazine has a nice feature on all of this too, with some fabulous pictures of Caucasian rugs and imperial caftans to show...
