The exhibition 'Opus Anglicanum: Masterpieces of English Medieval Embroidery' opened on 1 October 2016 in the Victoria and Albert Museum, London. The exhibition focuses on one of the most famous medieval (export) products of England, namely the opus anglicanum. The exhibition of these beautifully embroidered garments is supported by the embroidery firm of Hand & Lock.

Opus anglicanum is a Latin term that literally means 'Work of the English'. The term is documented in medieval sources from the continent (not from England !) to describe the highly regarded goldwork embroidery from England, whether it was religious or secular.
