Suzhou Silk Museum, Suzhou

3.3

#2 of 14 in Museums in Suzhou

At Suzhou Silk Museum, watch silk being spun on old-fashioned looms and learn how to tell the real deal from imitations. Surrounded by mulberry shrubs--the favorite food of silkworms--the museum boasts exhibitions on the 4,000-year history of China’s silk capital. As you enter, you'll see a long, white, curved wall, which symbolizes the Silk Road and its role in the development of this fine fabric. Three marble statues of girls--picking mulberry leaves, washing fabric, and weaving--introduce you to the silk-making process. Look for a room full of models of silkworms in mulberry leaves spinning cocoons, then see how silk fashions have changed over the centuries under the influence of different dynasties.

ツアーで連れてきてもらった。やはりシルクは現代でも高級品である。地中海に行っていたので微妙に製造過程が違うのに似ているものが多く面白かった。シルクロード、一帯一路、英中、１兆円超の商談成立。リベラル派知識人による「一帯一路日本研究センター」の設立。もうユーラシア大陸は動いている。 more »

蘇州絲綢博物館建築具有時代感，館內小巧，雖展品不算很多，但有些特色的佈置比如舊時刺繡, 商品非常齊全，精美的絲質衣物美倫美煥，免費參觀的博物館已經很好了。坐地鐵在北寺塔下來走5-8分鐘就到了，千萬不要走錯了，也不要報團去，報團容易被騙。 more »

The Soviet Silk Museum building has a sense of time, the museum is small, although the exhibits are not many, but some features such as the Old Thorn embroidery, the goods are very neat, exquisite silk clothing beautiful Longoza, the free Reference museum has been very good. Sit on the iron in the North Temple under the tower 5-8 minutes to go, tens don't go wrong, also don't report, the report is easy to deceive.

Free. Great if you're into fabric. The live silk worms were a highlight.
