DYK for Khalili Collection of Kimono

On 18 April 2020, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Khalili Collection of Kimono, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that a collection of kimono (example pictured) assembled by Nasser Khalili covers four periods of Japanese history? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Khalili Collection of Kimono. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Khalili Collection of Kimono), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.
