Industrial Archeology

Prato is known all over the world as a textile city. The Textile Museum is the only one in Italy dedicated to art and textile technology. Spread all over the province are examples of industrial archaeology. Don’t forget the local outlet stores where you can buy excellent products in fine fibers; many buildings have been converted into bars or theaters where they performed impressive performances and art exhibitions
