Barcelona - Textile and Clothing Museum Museu Tèxtil i d'Indumentària

Opposite the Museu Picasso stands a 13th C. palace, now the home of the Museu Tèxtil i d'Indumentària. It possesses items from the Fourth C. A.D. onwards, as well as from regions inhabited by the Coptics (Egyptians), Moors and from the Christian West.

The ticket office is in the pretty Renaissance inner courtyard, where there is a small display of dolls' clothes and fashion jewelry.
