Burylin House, Ivanovo, Historical textile museum in Ivanovo, Russia.
Burylin House is a museum in Ivanovo focused on textiles, industrial objects, and crafts. The exhibitions fill multiple rooms and show in detail how manufacturing and commerce once worked.
Industrialist Dmitry Burylin gathered objects and documents from the early 1900s onward. His private collection was later preserved as a federal museum and opened to the public.
The house reveals how textile craft and business shaped this city's identity. Visitors see traditional production methods and objects from when local manufacturers built their trading networks.
The displays occupy two floors of the mansion and follow a mainly chronological order, from early weaving tools to 20th-century printed fabrics. The courtyard outbuildings hold an extra exhibition hall, the storage and the museum library. A 1914 underground passage links the mansion to the Museum of Industry and Art.
In May 2013, during the Night of Museums, a life-size rhinoceros made of printed cotton (sittsa) was installed beside the building. The museum also holds 58 pattern books (manernye knigi) used to record and repeat hand-block printed designs.
