Intro

The Museum of Textiles and Library in St.Gallen is home to interesting exhibits of historical embroideries and outstanding examples of lace as well as presentations of contemporary textile art.

This internationally renowned museum collection of about 30,000 objects consists of fabrics from Egyptian grave sites, historical embroideries since the 14th century, hand-made lace from major European centres of excellence, ethnographic textiles, historical fabrics and costumes, handmade utensils and objects of contemporary textile art.

The collection of hand and machine embroidery from Eastern Switzerland documents the impressive development of the St.Gallen embroidery industry. The library of the Textilmuseum St. Gallen collects media on all areas to do with textiles and on the related subjects of art and creation.

Embroidery at the Textile Museum





Leave your mark with needle and thread by taking part in a collaborative piece of embroidery at the Textile Museum St.Gallen. Embroidering is not difficult to master and everyone can take part, whether it is by embroidering your initials or maybe even by creating a small, personal piece of art. Be part of a bigger collective piece of art that is growing by the day. A creation that displays the collaboration of the participants in all their diverse and colourful shapes and forms!
