Lao Textile Museum
About This Museum
Visitors don't just come to the Lao Textile Museum to see beautiful fabrics; they come to understand a story woven directly into the threads of Lao culture. Stepping into its traditional wooden building feels like entering a living workshop, where the rhythmic clack of looms provides a constant soundtrack. You can watch master weavers, often working on intricate 'matmi' ikat patterns, and see the entire painstaking process from silkworm cocoon to dazzling finished cloth. It’s an intimate and deeply sensory experience that connects you to generations of artistry.
Collection Highlights
The museum's heart is its stunning array of silk samples, showcasing regional patterns and natural dyes. Don't miss the live weaving demonstrations, where artisans bring these ancient techniques to life before your eyes.
