Museum of Carpet

Who we are

The Museum of Carpet opened on 12th October 2012 and is the only Museum in the UK dedicated to celebrating the heritage, art and industry of carpet making.

We invite visitors to discover the unique story of Kidderminster, once known as the ‘Carpet Capital of the World’, through visuals, photos, films and interactives, which children and adults alike thoroughly enjoy trying out. The story of Kidderminster’s carpet industry is brought to life by our dedicated and passionate team of volunteers, most of whom lived and worked in Kidderminster during its carpet industry heyday.
