I recently visited the Kurdish Textile Museum and was blown away by the incredible wealth of history, culture, and artistry on display. The museum is a true gem, showcasing the rich and intricate textile traditions of the Kurdish people, both past and present.

From the moment I stepped through the doors, I was struck by the warmth and hospitality of the staff, who were eager to share their knowledge and passion for the exhibits. The museum's collections are thoughtfully curated and displayed, with each piece carefully chosen to highlight the unique techniques, patterns, and materials used by Kurdish weavers throughout the ages.

One of my favorite things about the museum was the way it seamlessly blended historical artifacts with contemporary designs and interpretations. I was amazed to see how the traditional motifs and techniques of Kurdish textiles have been reimagined and revitalized by modern designers, demonstrating the enduring relevance and beauty of this rich cultural heritage.

Moreover, the museum provides valuable educational resources and programming, including workshops, lectures, and demonstrations, that allow visitors to deepen their understanding and appreciation of Kurdish textiles and their significance.

Overall, I cannot recommend the Kurdish Textile Museum highly enough. It is a true treasure that celebrates the creativity, ingenuity, and resilience of the Kurdish people, and I feel grateful to have had the opportunity to learn from and be inspired by its...

The Erbil Textile Museum, located inside the historic Erbil Citadel, is a fascinating place that beautifully preserves Kurdish and Iraqi cultural heritage. The museum showcases a wide collection of traditional handwoven carpets, rugs, and textiles from different regions of Kurdistan and Iraq. Each piece tells a story through its patterns, colors, and craftsmanship. The atmosphere inside the museum is peaceful and full of history, and the displays are well organized, helping visitors understand the cultural importance of weaving in this region. It’s also interesting to see the old weaving tools and how the artisans used natural dyes. Overall, the Erbil Textile Museum is a must-visit for anyone interested in art, culture, and traditional...

The museum is located inside the Erbil Citadel. It exhibits artifacts demonstrating the spinning and weaving skills of Erbilis and the nomad tribes of the region reflecting Kurdistan folkloric handicrafts including rugs, pillows, clothes, raw materials such as wool and threads naturally colored using wild plants and flowers. Some exhibits are several centuries old.

Geleneksel El Sanatları: Kürtlerde en yaygın el sanatı halı dokumacılığıdır. Kürt halkı asırlardır halı dokuma geleneğini takip etmiştir, belki de en çok çiçeklerle ve desenlerle bezenmiş halılar bu halka aittir. Halı dokuyanların bazıları içlerindeki hayallerini ve arzularını halıya aksettirmişlerdir. Kullanılan renkler ise Kürt tasarımlarının zenginleşmesinde ana faktörü teşkil etmektedir

يقع المعرض داخل قلعة أربيل ، ويضم في جانب كـــــبير منه الصناعات اليدوية التي تقارب الأربعين قطعة من فنون النسيج والحياكة الخـاصة بمواطني أربيل والقبائل الرحــــل التي عاشت في المنطقة . وهذه القطع المعروضة عبارة عن فــــرش ، ملابس ، مــواد أولية وأدوات للصناعة (كالصوف والخيوط الملونة بشـكل طبيعي من خلال الاستفادة من الأعشاب ، والزهور والنباتات الطبيعـية) ، يعود تاريخ بعض هذه القطع إلى مئات السنين

Some of the must visits in citadela not to be missed. U can see traditional way of life in Kurdistan countryside, tribal way of distinquish in clothing for men and women and also beautiful traditional handmade carpets, kilims and rugs made in 1900 still looks like new. On site there is also cafe and gift shop. Place was visited by many politicians, actors or singers theirs pictures can be seen in entry area.
