The George Washington University Museum and The Textile Museum

 

The GW Museum and Textile Museum brought together two pillars of the arts and education in Washington DC.

 

 

The George Washington University Museum and The Textile Museum fosters the study and appreciation of art, history, and culture – within GW and throughout the world. As a cornerstone of the university’s growing focus on these areas, the museum acts as a hub of GW’s interdisciplinary work to:

  • enrich research, education, and cultural understanding;
  • train the next generation of museum professionals; and
  • welcome the public into the life of the university.

While the new museum has limitless opportunities, we need financial resources to make them a reality.
