New England Quilt Museum, Textile museum in Lowell, United States.

The New England Quilt Museum is a textile museum in Lowell housed in a repurposed bank building on Shattuck Street. It displays historical and contemporary quilts across multiple galleries along with other fiber arts.

Founded in 1987 by quiltmakers, the museum is the second-oldest quilt museum in the United States. After a flood damaged its previous building, it moved in 1994 into the former Lowell Institute for Savings, a historic bank building near Lowell National Historical Park.

The museum displays quilts from different periods, connecting historical works with contemporary fiber art practices. Exhibitions show how this craft became part of everyday life and artistic expression in the region.

The museum is located on Shattuck Street with straightforward access from the town center. Hours run Tuesday through Saturday, though visitors should check ahead as closures for events or exhibition changes can occur.

MassQuilts, a volunteer-run statewide project started in 1994, holds documentation sessions at the museum on the second Thursday of every month and has recorded more than 8,000 quilts. It has also produced traveling shows and a university press book, Massachusetts Quilts, Our Common Wealth.
