HISTORICAL DIRECTORY / SOURCE NOTE

DaDa Rug and Art Gallery

The old directory used this address for DaDa Rug and Art Gallery. Two preserved records establish that identity; they do not establish a current place to visit.

What the directory identifies

In the Old City Arts map navigation captured on 6 January 2009, DaDa appears under “Visual & Performing Arts”. Its name links directly to /visual/main/dada.html, the address of this page. That connection identifies the directory entry rather than relying on a resemblance between names.

A separately preserved Old City Arts PDF map also lists DaDa Rug & Art Gallery. The PDF was captured on 17 July 2013. This is an archive capture date, not a confirmed date of publication or proof that the business was trading on that day.

Read the two records

  1. Map navigation, captured 6 January 2009. The named link is the evidence connecting DaDa with this exact path. Read the preserved navigation.
  2. PDF map, captured 17 July 2013. The name appears in the printed directory material. It corroborates the name, while supplying a different kind of document. Open the archived PDF map.

These are records from the same historical website, not two independent confirmations of present-day opening arrangements. Both are linked to their dated archive captures so the evidence can be read in context.

Does a later capture date confirm a gallery was still open?

No. An archive can capture an unchanged or outdated page. To establish current opening arrangements, look for a current first-party programme or contact page and confirm the intended visit directly.

What remains unknown

The body of the original DaDa detail page has not been recovered for this edition. This new source note therefore does not reproduce that page or claim to restore its photographs. It reports only what the two retained records support.

We have not confirmed a present-day venue, opening hours, current operator or current contact details for this entry. An address printed in a historical map should not be treated as directions for a visit today. No appointment, booking or current exhibition is offered here.

Use the record today

If you reached this page from an old link, use the dated sources to understand which directory entry it meant. For a present-day outing, begin with a source-linked place guide and check the venue’s own current arrangements.
