Textile and Clothing Museum Chronological history of clothes

Carrer de Montcada 12-14 Barcelona, Barcelona 08003 +34 93 319 7603 http://www.museutextil.bcn.es/

This museum is located opposite the Picasso Museum, in the medieval Marqueses de Lió Palace, well known because of its original wooden roof and ornate central courtyard (still beautifully preserved). The museum is divided into three sections: textiles, clothes and lace. It gives visitors the chance to trace the history of fabrics and fashion from Ancient Egypt up to the present day. Moreover, it includes a collection of mannequins, textile tools, carpets, embroidered pieces and liturgical ornaments, among other items. There is also a terrace-bar all year round that is one of the most pleasant spots in Barcelona. Furthermore, there is a nice shop where they sell any kind of fabric and clothes made from natural materials and fibres. During school holidays, they organize workshops through which children can learn, for example, how to weave a tapestry and take it home afterward. Review © 2009, Wcities
