Museum of Fabrics and Decorative Arts

Housed in two 18th-century mansions, this unique museum celebrates the legendary craftsmanship of Lyon's silk weavers. More than 2 million textile pieces—silks, embroideries, tapestries, and Empire-style costumes—trace 4,000 years of textile history from around the world. An exceptional intangible heritage, deeply ingrained in the very fabric of the capital of Gaul.
