The Central Museum of Textiles, Textile art museum in Łódź, Poland
The Central Museum of Textiles is housed in the White Factory and displays fiber collections from around the world. The exhibitions feature historic weaving looms, handcrafted works, and contemporary artistic textiles.
The institution started in 1952 as part of another museum and became independent in 1960. From there it developed into a major center for textile art with global reach.
The collections show how textile work has been central to people's lives and skills across time. You can see traditional techniques displayed alongside works by artists who continue these crafts today.
Visitors should plan their visits carefully as opening hours are limited to certain days. The museum is best explored at a leisurely pace to fully appreciate the displayed collections.
The museum has hosted an international competition for tapestry art for several decades, drawing artists from many countries. This event has made the institution a meeting point for fiber artists worldwide.
