Embroidered Museums is a series of textile works created by French artist Stéphanie Cazaentre during live sessions inside five Paris museums. Quiet yet engaging, each piece is stitched on the spot during a few hours of observation, capturing fleeting moments and ambient details. Working like a sketchbook with thread, Cazaentre’s approach combines immediacy and intuition. The result is a series of embroidered drawings that document the subtle choreography of museum spaces.

Stéphanie Cazaentre has developed a unique practice of embroidered sketches made in public spaces — cafés, parks, museums. Her work questions the boundaries between drawing and embroidery, the intimate and the public, tradition and contemporaneity. In this series, created within five Paris museums with distinct collections, she shifts embroidery out of its conventional domestic context and into shared cultural spaces. The thread becomes a means of direct observation and poetic memory. Through her presence and practice, she opens conversations and reveals the museum not only as a space of heritage, but also of human connection.
