I never knew "European textiles" could be so interesting until I came here.

Today, Pandy is taking you to the "Textile Museum St. Gallen." It is located in the eastern Swiss city of St. Gallen. The museum is housed in an elegant 19th-century building. The interior is exquisite and beautiful. From early handlooms to modern high-tech textile equipment, it seems that every exhibit has its own story to tell. As early as the Middle Ages, St. Gallen became a center for embroidery and textiles in Europe. Since the 19th century, embroidery here has been an important Swiss export. Two centuries later, St. Gallen is more focused on haute couture. It is said that one-third of the world's high-end women's fashion fabrics come from here, including many well-known luxury brands. The Textile Museum has a collection of about 30,000 items, including handmade lace products from all over Europe since the Middle Ages, textiles from other regions and ethnic groups around the world, handmade tools, and modern textile art from St. Gallen. In addition, the museum also has a library where you can find historical information about the local textile industry. The most impressive thing is the ticket to the Textile Museum St. Gallen, which is made of a piece of fabric. It is really ingenious and environmentally friendly. It is also in line with Switzerland's advocacy of sustainability. 📌Tips: 🕘Opening hours: 10:00–17:00 daily 📍Vadianstrasse 2, 9000 St. Gallen, Switzerland
