The project was part of the £23m redevelopment of the Norman keep at Norwich Castle Museum and Art Gallery in the east of England. Working with Norwich Cathedral and Gainsborough Silk Weaving in Suffolk, with the support of Norwich's Costume and Textile Association, the Castle Museum planned to display the newly recreated fabric to show the splendid colour and pattern of the original silk vestments alongside some of the fragments, on rotation to avoid their deterioration.
