The place is nice and unique, unfortunately the lady in the reception was more interested in reading a tv magazine than to talk to us or to sell the lovely articles they had! The ladies weaving were fantastic and producing beautiful things,

A BEautiful array of woven textiles--lovely attached exhibit area with excellent examples of various hats, techniques, traditional wedding attire, among other items. Plus proceeds go to support the Andean weavers--so not only are you getting beautiful, authentic, naturally dyed textiles, you are supporting a great cause--a win win.

This trip was my second visit to the Textile Museum. As before, I was awed by the immaculate precision of the weavings on display - and the weavings being made in front of us by two master artisans. Stepping inside the door right on the main busy thoroughfare of Avenue El Sol, it is like stepping through a window into... More

A great place to buy first quality items with the weavers' history attached. Save your soles and buy here. 10% discount for cash made it better-still!

Here the native weavers get 70% of the price of goods directly. The museum is free and the handicrafts are top quality. Credit cards accepted.

The textiles store had a lot of beautiful textiles. The price seemed better than Awana Kancha. Although the animal santuary had better prices, but not near the amount of choices. It was a cultural experience seeing the ladies sitting on the floor weaving and the small musieum displays history of making dyes and textiles.

It was amazing to see the different techniques and symbolism used in this art form. We wish we had more free cash to have purchased one of these pieces.

This is an interesting museum that not only shows the history of the local clothing and textiles, but they usually have local artisans working that you can watch.
