Her Majesty realized that any further loss of Bhutan’s textile arts would be an irreversible impairment to an important aspect of the country’s cultural heritage.<br /> In the late 1990’s, some valuable and unique samples of Bhutanese textiles were still available within the country, safeguarded as heirlooms or phamaishuy.<br /> <br /> The establishment of The Textile Museum in Thimphu in 2001 gave the Bhutanese, as well as the world, a chance to enjoy these incredible pieces of art. The museum comprised of two galleries (upper and lower), one conservation workroom, a storage room, shop and office space The permanent collection began with 244 artifacts in 2001 comprising of requisite examples of Bhutanese textiles, which were showcased in gracious gallery settings using locally available resources modified to meet international museum standards. The development of the conservation unit, was generously supported by the non profit Friends’ of Bhutan’s Culture, USA, aided by grants from the Getty Conservation Institute. Through an active acquisition strategy, including donations and purchases, the permanent collection today has grown substantially to a total of over 2000 artifacts, which include invaluable artifacts of historical, cultural and religious significance dating back to as early as the 1800’s.</p> </p> </div> <footer> <div id="gwtoday-local-footer"> <div id="gwtoday-footer"> <div class="promotional-four-col"> <div class="footer-logo" id ="promo-item-1"> <div class="field field-name-field-gwtoday-logo field-type-text-long field-label-hidden"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item even"><p> <img alt="The Textile Museum" src="/textilemuseum/public/images/logo/logofooter.png" /></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="footer-address" id ="promo-item-2"> <div class="field field-name-field-gwtoday-address field-type-text-long field-label-hidden"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item even"> <p>Office Open:9 a.m - 5 p.m</br> <p>Working Days:Monday-Saturday</br> <p>Phone Number: 02-321516/02-3321517</p></br></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="footer-social-links" id ="promo-item-3"> <div class="field field-name-field-gwtoday-social-links field-type-text-long field-label-hidden"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item even"><p>Chubachu,Dechen lam<br /> Thimphu, Bhutan  </p> <p>Below MOIC,Near BDBL <br /> </p> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="footer-quick-links" id ="promo-item-4"> <div class="field field-name-field-gwtoday-quick-links field-type-text-long field-label-hidden"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item even"> <p><span class="ghost-button reg-button darkblue gwtm-btn"> <p>  <a href="https://twitter.com" target="_blank"> <img alt="The Textile Museum" src="/textilemuseum/public/sites/g/files/zaxdzs3271/f/image/Twitter_64.png" style="height: 35px; width: 35px;" /></a>   <a href="https://www.facebook.com" target="_blank"> <img alt="The Textile Museum" src="/textilemuseum/public/sites/g/files/zaxdzs3271/f/image/Facebook_64.png" style="width: 35px; height: 35px;" /></a>   <a href="https://www.instagram.com" target="_blank"><img alt="Instagram icon - GW Museum" src="/textilemuseum/public/sites/g/files/zaxdzs3271/f/image/Instagram_64.png" style="width: 35px; height: 35px;" /></a>   </p> <p> </p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <footer id="footer" class="region region-footer"> <div id="footer-wrapper"> <div class="align:center">漏 2019-2024 The Textile Museum.
