At Pl. Colegio Infantes, 11, this museum displays religious tapestries and textiles from Toledo Cathedral, including 16th-century pieces made for the Corpus Christi celebrations. Look closely at the fine detail in the woven scenes, and seek out the tapestry of astrolabes, a striking departure from the religious subjects. The rooms combine historic fabric with newer design elements, including a carefully designed staircase. Some spaces feel enclosed and do not connect directly, so the layout may not suit visitors who dislike confined rooms.
The Corpus Christi tapestries
The collection includes religious tapestries from the 16th century. Among its notable works are the Corpus Christi tapestries, associated with the celebration for which they are displayed along Toledo’s streets. Their detailed woven scenes reward a close look, with precise depictions of European subjects.
The museum also preserves textiles that give visitors a chance to examine historic pieces up close. For a subject beyond the religious tapestries, look for the work depicting astrolabes, singled out as a notable curiosity in the collection.

The museum brings older spaces together with newer design elements. Its staircase is one of the details to notice as you move through the displays.
