The Metropolitan Museum of Art has provided an online source for viewing their famous Unicorn Tapestries. The website invites visitors to zoom in for close up details of the designs.
The zoom function is four levels deep, which allows for quite close looks at the patterns. The late 15th and early 16th century tapestries were woven in Brussels and were purchased and donated to the Museum by John D. Rockefeller, Jr. |
