The Pegge Hopper Gallery, located near Hawaii Pacific University about 30 minutes from the Ko Olina Beach Villas, presents Global Caravan now through August 3. The exhibit features museum-quality carpets from Persia, Turkey, and the Middle East. The displayed carpets have been gathered by Hakan Ucarer, a collector of rare carpets.
Carpet weaving has a long history in Persia, and carpets have historically been used both for functional and decorative purposes. Traditional Persian carpets include detailed geometric designs and a rich color palette.
The display is open to the public. The gallery is open from 11 am to 4 pm on Tuesdays through Fridays and 11 am to 3 pm on Saturdays. For more information, check out peggehopper.com or call (808) 524-1160.
