Bsous Silk Museum, Silk production museum in Bsous, Lebanon
The museum inhabits a stone building with two levels, containing exhibits of silk production methods, traditional looms, and historical manufacturing equipment.
The structure operated as a silk factory from 1901 to 1954 under the Fayad family before George and Alexandra Asseily transformed it into a museum in 2000.
The exhibits present the traditional Lebanese silk manufacturing methods through displays of vintage tools, cocoon boxes, and demonstrations of silk thread extraction.
The museum opens from May to October, excluding Mondays, with guided tours available to observe live silkworms and the complete silk production process.
Every May, visitors witness the seasonal cycle of silkworms transforming into cocoons, demonstrating the natural silk creation process in real time.
