The State Silk Museum documents sericulture through collections connected with silk production and its related natural history. Its official collections page describes cocoons, silkworm entomology, thread and skeins, dyes, textiles, egg-carrying containers, photographs and mulberry-related objects. The museum is at 6 Giorgi Tsabadze Street in Tbilisi.
A focused collection
The museum says its cocoon collection covers thousands of varieties and species from the nineteenth through twenty-first centuries. Its entomology collection follows silkworm anatomy and life stages, while other sections cover textiles, natural and chemical dyes, photographs and objects connected with mulberry. These are the categories presented by the museum, not a promise about a particular display on a given date. Open the museum’s collection and visit pages for current access information.
