The highlight of my trip to the Bay Area! It is on the smaller side, but incredibly well curated. I spent over an hour here. Your mileage may vary depending on your level of enthusiasm for textiles. I especially loved "You May Recognize Yourself," a show of mostly monochrome sewn portraits of women seen from the back, made of household textiles of the type that may have historically been found in a dowry, like tablecloths and bed linen. I did indeed recognize myself.
Recommend for everyone who enjoys art, textiles, sewing, or crafts.

This is such a delightful place to spend part of an afternoon. It took a friend and I just over an hour but we enjoyed every piece in the museum and the staff is super friendly

Cute little Museum, if you sew in any capacity you will appreciate their pieces. They had some really cool pieces especially in the back rooms. They also had a small shop to get some interesting gifts. We found some easy parking on the street but I can imagine that it is difficult at peak times. The front desk person was very kind and approachable.

The museum was very well organized and had great pieces on the wall. The gift shop was really unique and all things were hand made! Wish it was a little bigger, but overall it was in a good location and enjoyed the surrounding businesses and environment!

WOW! I did NOT think a QUILT could be so moving, contemporary, or relatable! Simply splendid!The two large rooms of this amazing juried quilt exhibit should be visited SOON! The exhibit ends on APRIL 16th, and YOU SHOULD NOT MISS this chance to see how dynamics QUILTS and FABRIC can be!I wished I could be in a room simultaneously with these quilters. The quilts are so varied, but the very human messages behind their creation are so similar. The humanity of this artwork is exemplary.GO. Go NOW!

I tried making quilts (just the basic easy square ones) in high school. It was a lot of work, making sure the square patterns stay aligned with one other. The quilts at this museum were amazing, pay attention to the details!!Follow me on IG: @ssindyeats for more foodie bites and travel.

Don't know why I love checking museum on a raining day? Perhaps it's so relaxing to glaze at art and figuring out what the artist was thinking while making that particular piece of art.

Small museum featuring thematic exhibits, all quilts during our visit. The Quilt National '21 works were featured, along with a few other pieces. Some were visually stunning, others with gorgeous handmade textiles or even paper, still others displayed incredible quilting craftsmanship. Most artists specified the meaning or message of their work, which deepened out appreciation.We took our time, then visited the gift shop (quilts, jewelry, scarves), bought stuff, in about 1.5 hrs. Worthy of a visit. We used our local library's 'Discover & Go" program and visited for free, but funded our visit with purchases.

Small, free and fun- what more could you want from this fairly new museum that just opened in Downtown LA? We came here at 6:30 with our printed tickets- not a problem at all getting in. Be aware of having small enough bags according to their regulations.
