Don't be overwhelmed by the sheer volume of the Textile Museum collection of 17,000 works! Make sure to check out the collection of stunning oriental rugs. -- Green Guide Editor

Stunning! Be sure to check out the hands on exhibit on the upper level...it's great for all ages!

Watch the 30 min video on 3rd floor about the artisans in Japan who recreate the ancient silk kimonos - amazing!

The upstairs is currently closed in preparation for the museums move to GWU. The current exhibition on Asian weaving is excellent but very small.

I liked the latest exhibition, but I felt it was rather small. I would've liked to seen more on display. The interactive center for kids was great!
