A small but very interesting museum. An interesting tour. We spent the whole day visiting the museums of Khiva, and wandered into this one. It was the best visit of the whole day! Yes, it is not included in the single ticket, but it is not expensive either! But how interesting! I rested my soul! The visit includes a tea party, a carpet weaving workshop and silk scarf making. For a fee, you can make a silk scarf of your own individual colors. I advise everyone! The child is 9 years old and I liked it!
Walking around the Old Town all day, we wandered into the silk museum. I really liked the tour, which starts with a tea party with sweets. It is immediately clear that people are doing what they love, there are many interesting facts and exhibits. And the silk scarf dyeing master class is an unforgettable pleasure! Like a child waiting for what happened)) the result is fascinating! Prosperity, fulfillment of your plans, and success to you!
I really liked the museum and the exposition. The history of silk and silk spinning was told in a fascinating way. Thank you very much! We wish you development and prosperity ❤
A small museum, a pleasant employee told me the process of making silk, although I did not take a master class on scarf coloring in the future, I had good impressions after visiting this museum and was treated to tea)
A very interesting museum tells about the production of silk, silk money. You can try to weave a carpet. There is a master class on dyeing a silk handkerchief.
It was an incredible experience weaving silk Carpets and fabrics in the masterclass. It is due to this museum that I will always remember Khiva. The owners and employees of the museum are very friendly, they treated us to tea, cherries and told us about the history of the creation of a silk workshop in Khiva. And the most interesting thing is that the family that owns this museum was the only one who was given the right to make silk products by the ruler of Khiva himself 100 years ago and still. This is a unique experience and I recommend everyone to go to this place😊 in the photo, the handkerchief that I painted myself at the master class at the museum
A small private museum. An interesting tour. The visit includes a tea party, a master class in carpet and silk weaving. For a fee, you can make a silk scarf of your own individual colors.
An interesting small museum in the city center. You can work on a loom and learn about the history of sericulture :)

It wasn't the first time I got to the museum - so it got lost in an alley of the old town. And thanks to him, some of the most vivid memories of Khiva remained. Under the shadow of an ancient ivan and mulberry tree, they gave tea, gave them a chance to tie patterns on a silk carpet and dye a scarf for themselves, along the way telling the story of silk, the technology of its manufacture, how money was printed on silk, why and why silk is worn by women, and men should do it with caution. One of the descendants of the silkworm dynasty introduced the museum. It is very interesting how the history of sericulture intertwines with the history of his family.
