Really you need to show a fuller image, but I guess Caucasian. Rugs often have different patterns from kilims simply because you can do that with piled weaving techniques.Can anyone educate me on what kind of rug this might be? I can't recall seeing a kilim with these exact patterns and such brightness.

What do great museums do?For my fellow overthinkers:
Should art be hung flush with the wall, or with a slight forward tilt?

Really, regarding tilting v flat, there is no correct answer, even for museums and/or for different periods of the work. Sometimes it is simply the curator's call.
That picture looks more Turkish. But still hard to tell.Thanks. Poking around that seems to be a good guess. Different rug, same idea below. I don't really need to know an exact match since I'm just thinking about picking something up the origin is just to help with search terms.

Sure, sometimes the reasons are technical, sometimes curatorial, sometimes whimsy. It's OK; there really are no rules.Indeed that is what my representative set of photos of great museums was intended to demonstrate. There are some definite trends: photos flat, posters flat. Old Masters in traditional museums angled. Impressionists: depends on the museum, the more modern the collections, flat (e.g. MOMA Paris), the more traditional, angled (MMA). Most post-WW2 art, flat. When I buy an Old Master I will let you all know what I do. In the mean time, everything is flat in my flat.
