The Big Rug Gallery Entry

The entry to the gallery features the story of the rug, along with weaving artifacts and the history of Navajo weaving. From this entry, you can see the backside of the cantilevered wall built to support the rug and provide a better viewing experience, and a worktable that was built at the Hubbell Trading Post in 1917.

 

Take note also of the original baggage scale in the room and the sculptural winch built by artist John Suttman, who also built the cantilevered wall and railings.
