I just saw this elsewhere online. It is apparently installed at a public arboretum here in Minnesota. Anyway, I thought enough of you would like to see it that it was worth posting at Permies.

Excellent !
This one wasn't "public" but was a co-operative project.

There have been several of this type of project,  now on display in public buildings.

Yeah, that tapestry is a whole lot prettier, but I do love the idea of kids getting to weft a few strands of whatever into something that seems like playground equipment and then remembering that experience twenty years later as they buy a little loom.
