Quilt Museum and Gallery, Art museum in York, United Kingdom

The Quilt Museum and Gallery maintains a collection of over 600 objects, including historical and contemporary quilts spanning three centuries of British textile tradition.

First established in 2008 at St Anthony's Hall, a 15th-century building in York, the museum operated until its closure on October 31, 2015.

The museum exhibits quilts made by women at home and professional quilters from northern mining communities, representing diverse British textile craftsmanship through generations.

Researchers need to schedule appointments with the curator to examine specific pieces from the collection, which remains accessible through various exhibitions across the UK.

The Quilters' Guild collection includes quilts with embroidered names and dates, inspired by hymns, psalms, and significant events in British history.
