Textile Museum

The National Textile Museum, which opened in June 2001, is worth a leisurely visit to get to know the living national art of weaving. The small shop features work from the renowned weaving centres in Lhuntshe Dzongkhag, in northeastern Bhutan. Each item is leveled with the name of the weaver and price. The textile museum's exhibition are centered around six major themes - warp pattern weaves, weft pattern weaves, role of textiles in religion, achievements in textile arts, textiles from indigenous fibers and the royal collection.
