If you are passing through Albi, discover the Fashion Museum.

The fashion museum is located in the heart of Albi, a city listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is located in part of the former convent of the Annunciades, a historic building, of which many architectural elements from the 12th to the 17th century are still visible: vaulted cellar, spiral staircase, carved doors...

Various exhibitions where you will find embroidery and haute couture pieces. In four years, the Fashion Museum has welcomed nearly fifty thousand visitors.

"Embroidering is the art of adding to the surface of a fabric already made and woven, the representation of such object as desired, flat or in relief, in gold, silver or shades." - Charles Germain de Saint-Aubin, embroiderer to the King, in 1770.
