San Jose Museum of Quilts & Textiles Information

The San Jose Museum of Quilts & Textiles is the nexus for fiber artists, art lovers, collectors, quilters, and crafters who share a passion for fiber art and a deep commitment to its preservation and evolution. The Museum’s collection consists of more than 1200 textiles and includes historic quilts, contemporary art quilts and textile-based art forms, as well as garments and textiles from world cultures. The first museum in the United States to focus on textiles as an art form, it remains one of few exhibiting venues in the country for artists and collectors of fiber art.
