Would you like to know why the textile trade was so important in Valencia? With this ticket to the Silk Museum, you'll learn about the role this fabric has played in the history of this Mediterranean city.
For centuries, Valencia was home to the Gremi de Velluters, producers of silk velvet. The booming silk industry there originated in the hands of Genoese artisans and was consolidated during the 15th century, bringing a period of wealth and splendor to the city.
The Silk Museum takes you through the history and development of this trade, from its discovery to the breeding of worms and the elaboration of silk on the looms. You'll find out fascinating facts such as that in Valencia there were almost 5000 looms. This and many other curiosities will be revealed with this ticket to the Silk Museum.
On this visit to the museum, you'll admire the tools and machines used in the production of the looms, as well as samples of silk velvet and traditional costumes made with this material.
The Silk Museum is open from Tuesday to Saturday from 10 am to 7 pm and on Sundays and holidays from 10 am to 2:30 pm.
