Queen Maxima joins a craft group for the day

Today, Queen Maxima joined one of the craft groups from all over the country that are currently embroidering the new curtains for the Chinese Hall of Huis ten Bosch Palace.

Earlier this year, the Textile Museum in Tilburg started making new curtains for the Chinese Hall, one of the reception rooms of the Palace. The design is a modern remake of 18th-century silk curtains.

After being developed on a high-tech embroidery machine in the TextileLab of the Textile Museum, more than a hundred craft amateurs - and now Queen Maxima as well - added embroideries. The results will be shown this fall in the exhibition 'Royal Embroidery | Stories and Craftsmanship' at the Textile Museum.

Queen Maxima wore a Massimo Dutti sleeveless coat over a white outfit. She also wore gold jewelry and her Tom Ford glasses.
