BRIGHTON PUBLIC LIBARY

(The photos below don't do justice to the rugs on display - I've photographed them as best I could, but an in-person visit is highly recommended!)

A special feature at the Brighton exhibit are the rugs of Elda McLaren, a 102 year old woman who has created some wonderful rugs.
