Since its establishment in 2001, the museum has generated national and international attention and has garnered a substantial collection of antique textile artefacts, exclusive to Bhutan.

[3] The Royal Collection of the museum has an invaluable collection of Bhutanese antique textile artefacts of Bhutan, including crowns of Bhutan's kings, Namzas (dresses) and other accessories worn by the Royal Family, a pearl robe from Tsamdrak Goenpa and the bedding of Shabdrung Jigme Dorji.

[1] The ground floor of the Textile Museum has displays demonstrating the skills of spinning, colouring fibres, preparing a loom, and manipulating two sets of yarns.

Besides pesar, the traditional art form, innovative other textile designs in appliqué and embroidery have also been proposed for future competitions.

This procedure is adopted to ensure quality products of textiles to be woven by the weavers displaying intricate and appealing designs.
