This intimate museum hosts displays of gorgeous textiles from around the world. Definitely take a free guided tour -- the guides are exceptionally knowledgeable. The gift shop is surprisingly good.

Off the beaten path but a great view into the History of DC. The Albert H. Small Washingtoniana Collection Rare maps, drawings, letters, documents, prints, and photographs in this collection tell the story of how Washington became the vibrant commercial center that George Washington envisioned. The Textile Museum The Textile Museum's highly regarded collection of non-Western textiles and carpets encompasses more than 19,000 objects that date from 3,000 BCE to the present. The 20,000-volume Arthur D. Jenkins Library of Textile Arts is a leading resource for the study of textiles.
