Museo Didattico della Seta

Fodor's Review:

Exhibiting the path of production from silkworm litters to moiré-finishing machinery, the Museo Didattico della Seta (Silk Museum) is small but complete. The museum preserves the history of a manufacturing region that continues to supply almost three-fourths of Europe's silk. The friendly staffers will give you an overview of the museum; they are also happy to provide brochures and information about local retail shops. The museum's location isn't well marked: follow the textile school's driveway around to the low-rise concrete building on the left, and follow the shallow ramp down to the entrance.

  • Cost: EUR 8
  • Open: Tues.-Fri. 9-noon and 3-6. Tours in English available by reservation
