Educational Silk Museum
Museo Didattico della Seta di Como
The Educational Silk Museum, representing the history of Como silk production, was opened in 1990.
The Museum extends over a surface of 1000 square metres and its exhibits reconstruct the silk manufacturing process with an historical and educational approach.
Moreover, the visitor is given the opportunity to learn more about both the whole process and the single phases that make it up. In some cases, the dimensions of the rooms make the exposition of cumbersome machines feasible.
The machines were donated to the Museum and all restoration work was carried out by keeping the original mechanisms.
The Museum has archives and warehouses where an indispensable heritage of machines and various objects is stored to augment the permanent exhibition.
