Maison des Canuts

If you're interested in the history of textiles in Lyon, take time to visit the Maison des Canuts (Silkweavers' House), a museum-cum-workshop devoted to the history of silk and silk weavers (canuts) in the heart of the Red Cross area. Here you can enjoy a video, browse through old machinery displays and watch silk-weaving demon strations on traditional looms.
