Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the Mississippi Valley Textile Museum will remain closed for the time being. In order to safely welcome back visitors and our community we are working hard to update our facility, including developing new cleaning procedures, rearranging our exhibits and museum layout, and giving our museum and collection some much needed TLC.
We are hoping to reopen our doors for the Norah Rosamond Hughes Gallery and Bobbins Gift Shop in October 2020, at the earliest. Watch out for our on-line Bobbins Gift Shop opening in September.
Soup For Thought is postponed to Saturday October 3

A big thanks to the progressive team at the MVTM for broadening the definition of ‘family’ to include LGBT couples who choose not to live together so that we could purchase a family membership. Thanks again!Marie Robertson and Peggy White

Congratulations on your decision to celebrate Pride and inclusivity by hanging the Pride flag outside the museum and for sending out this email to promote Pride. I am honoured to be a member of such a progressive and open organization. Happy Pride!

it has superb special and regular exhibits that are well worth the trip to Almonte. I have purchased lots of great gifts in the shop.
