Founded in 1925, The Textile Museum is an international center
for the exhibition, study, collection, and preservation of textiles
with a mission of furthering understanding and appreciation of
mankind's creative achievements in the textile arts. Its world-renowned
collections of 18,000 textiles and rugs date from 3,000 B.C.E.
to the present, with special focus on the Near East, Asia, Africa,
and the indigenous cultures of the Americas. The Museum presents
exhibitions of historic and contemporary textiles including fiber
art, and houses an unparalleled library of 20,000 textile-related
titles. With a $6 million budget and 36 staff members, it serves
25,000 to 30,000 visitors annually in two adjacent historic buildings
totaling 25,000 sq. ft. The Museum has 4,000 members from 50 states
and 53 countries. The Textile Museum does not currently have any open staff positions. For internship and volunteer opportunities, see below. directions
