Rocky Mountain Quilt Museum, Textile museum in Golden, United States.
The Rocky Mountain Quilt Museum in Golden displays rotating collections of historical and contemporary quilts across its galleries. The works range from traditional hexagon patterns to modern designs that reflect different approaches to this textile art.
The Rocky Mountain Quilt Museum grew out of a donation of 101 quilts by founder Eugenia Mitchell, which formed the core of its permanent collection. That collection now holds more than 800 quilts, ranging from early 1800s pieces to contemporary art quilts, and can be searched online through the Quilt Index.
The quilts on display show how families passed down their stories through fabrics and colors across generations. You can see how this tradition remains alive today and what it means to the people who create these works.
The museum is easy to access and navigate as you move through the gallery spaces to view the collections. It helps to know which exhibitions are on display before your visit, since the collections rotate regularly.
