Hidden gem!!! A must stop for anyone visiting Madrid that has interest in art, textiles, history. Thank you for the opportunity learn about and to see master weavers at work, keeeping alive centuries old techniques. What a blessing to have, preserve and continue the history and skill of making beautiful tapestries and rugs.

Lovely little museum / working factory. The tour took about two hours (the first was an overview of the weaving process and the second is about how they make silk and yarn). I found the second part a little dull but the first portion is fascinating. If you have any interest in textiles, I highly recommend a stop. 5€ for a ticket!

This museum only gives guided tours every hour or so. We thought we could just walk through ourselves but they wouldn’t let us. It doesn’t say that anywhere. You also have to pay for these tours. if you want it in English they only give an English tour once a day. You also can’t take pictures or video which is absolutely rediculous in 2018. I would have loved to see the tapestries and artwork but it was not plausible.

A real privilege to watch such skilled artisans at work on such important pieces. In our case they were working on a tapestry, part of a commission to replace ones destroyed in ww2. Highly recommended.

Wow. Creating new rugs and tapestries and repairing old rugs and tapestries from Spain and other European countries!

This is an unusual place to visit. Unfortunately, they are often full but if you book ahead by email it's fascinating to see the artisans at work. The visit isn't too technical or historical, just the right amount of context and then we get to see the looms etc. It's a functioning workshop but not noisy or smelly and not too big (visit lasts an hour). I think children might find it quite interesting as well. I think the tour may be offered in English at some times.

Definitely a visit worth making! A historical trade kept alive by extremely skilled persons. The tour is fantastic and so informative provided by the loveliest tour guide. There is only one tour in English so check before going about times

Highly recommended. The tour guide was very informative and comfortable with the group. She took us behind the tapestries to see the artisans at work which was very eye-opening. Well worth the visit.

Beautiful, historical craftmanship on display. Artisans with decades of training refurbish and create beautiful tapestries, rugs and coat of arms for state and private use. Photos are not encouraged in most areas unfortunately. Everything is handmade with the utmost attention to detail.

Such a cool experience to see them making tapestries the same way they've been doing it for hundreds of years. My guide was super informative and kind. They have pieces designed by Goya and Rafael, but the real highlight is going behind the scenes and seeing the artists working. Highly recommend, and it's only 5 euros. They have tours almost every hour (and one in English at noon)

Fascinating to learn the process of making these exquisite (and huge) tapestries and rugs. This is a working factory, not a museum, although they also have some older works on display showing some of the history of tapestry-making in Spain. Tours are quite inexpensive and last under an hour. If driving, be careful about parking outside; there is a one-hour limit and a stiff fine for parking too long.

A fascinating insight into the very old craft of tapestry and carpet making. We were escorted around the workshops as a small group by one of the English speaking senior staff who described and demonstrated the skills. We saw large tapestries being made and carpets being repaired. Great to see traditional methods being sustained. A highlight of the Madrid visit.

Incredible place with lots of old and valuable tapestries. You can go visit at specific times. Better book your visit

Una visita enriquecedora. A wonderful and unique site. Very enriched visit
