Antonio Ratti Textile Center

The Antonio Ratti Textile Center is one of the largest and most advanced facilities for the study and storage of textiles of any major art museum. The Metropolitan Museum of Art acquired its first textile in 1879, and its collection has expanded to include textiles dating back to 3000 B.C. and spanning all the world’s civilizations. The Antonio Ratti Textile Center oversees the storage and care and preservation of these textiles.
