Tucked away in one of the rooms at the National Textile Museum in Kuala Lumpur is a selection of handwoven textiles displayed on the walls and hanging from the ceiling.

These are part of the personal collection of the late traditional textile pioneer Sulaiman Ghani, which were gifted by his family to the Department of Museums Malaysia after his passing in September last year.
