​Oxford has unusual and important collections of textiles from Asia and the Islamic world. The University's Ashmolean Museum and the Pitt Rivers Museum have major holdings. In the Department of Eastern Art in the Ashmolean there are more than 3,000 textiles from Asian cultures, while the collections at the Pitt Rivers Museum are believed to number twice that. However, OATG also looks outside Oxford and welcomes speakers and contributors to its journal from all around the world.
