Historical Overview

The Ramses Wissa Wassef Art Centre in Harrania is one of Egypt’s most distinctive modern craft institutions. Architect and educator Ramses Wissa Wassef founded the weaving experiment in the 1950s around the idea that children could develop original artistic expression without copying prepared designs. Generations of local weavers subsequently produced large handwoven tapestries inspired by village life, plants, animals and the Egyptian landscape. The centre combines workshops, galleries, architecture and a living craft tradition, making it more than a conventional museum or shop.
