Musée départemental de la tapisserie d'Aubusson, Tapestry museum in Aubusson, France.
The museum displays 330 wall tapestries and 15,000 graphic works in a renovated 1969 building designed by Robert Danis.
The museum, established in 1982 by the Creuse General Council, exhibits tapestry collections from both Aubusson and Felletin regions.
The institution received UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage status in 2009, leading to its transformation into the International Tapestry Center.
