Your Way Begins on the Other Side is a spectacular tapestry made of 1.2 million gold-plated steel pins by Pakistani artist Aisha Khalid. The tapestry’s stark and intricate beauty invites contemplation of the human condition and echoes the title, which is taken from a poem by the Sufi poet Rumi.

Since it was commissioned in 2014, the tapestry has become one of the Museum’s most beloved pieces, and we’ve extended its special return to the atrium. Don’t miss your chance to experience this extraordinary work for free until March 18, 2019.
