Stitch of history

The China National Silk Museum, the first museum of its kind in the country, boasts a total exhibition space of 42,286 square meters.

"Six years were spent in establishing the museum, from 1986-91. After 30 years of construction, from 1992 to 2022, the museum has left many proud memories in its history," says Zhao.

Situated at the foothills of Lianhua Peak of Yuhuang Mountain, this enchanting museum has made remarkable achievements in many fields, such as collecting silk treasures, holding domestic and foreign exhibitions, protecting textile relics, inheriting sericulture skills, silk science education and promoting silk culture. China's silk culture dates back to its ancient civilization.
