The Musée historique des tissus in Lyon was founded in 1890. It was 
perhaps The Great Exhibition of 1851 in London that inspired the Lyon 
industrialists to create a historical museum with textiles from 
different parts of the world. The collection contains an important 
section on pre-Islamic textiles. (#017888)        $500
