State Silk Museum is a small museum located in the Didube district, housed in a separate two-story building near the Dynamo Stadium and Mushtaidi Park.
It is situated a bit far from the city center and is not often visited, although it is quite interesting — especially if you are interested in sericulture and silk itself.
