San Jose Museum of Quilts & Textiles, Art museum in Downtown San Jose, United States.

The museum occupies a 13,000-square-foot building in the SoFA Arts District, displaying over 1,500 textile pieces and contemporary fiber artworks.

Founded in 1977 as the American Museum of Quilts and Related Arts in Los Altos, it became the first United States museum dedicated to textile arts.

The permanent collection includes both traditional quilts from the 19th century and contemporary works that incorporate modern technology into fiber art traditions.

Visitors can explore the museum on Thursdays and Fridays from 1 PM to 7 PM, and on Saturdays and Sundays from 11 AM to 5 PM.

The Artist in Residence program provides a three-month workspace for textile artists, offering workshops and demonstrations in the museum's Maker Space.
