Museo del Tessuto di Prato / Prato Textile Museum
Centro Machiavellin johtaja, Mario Paiano, vei meidät vierailulle Praton tekstiilimuseoon. Opastettuun kierrokseen kuului laaja näyttely vaatetuksen ja kankaiden sekä materiaalien historiasta. Näyttely oli hyvin mielenkiintoinen. Näyttely jatkui yläkerran näyttelytilassa, jossa kerrottiin Praton alueen tekstiiliteollisuuden historiasta ja nykypäivästä. Museossa oli erillinen alue, jossa lapsiryhmät saivat kokeilla kankaankudontaa pienillä kudontakehyksillä. Mekin pääsimme testaamaan opetusmenetelmää ja teimme pienet rannekkeet.
Mario Paiano, director of Centro Machiavelli, took us on a visit to the Textile Museum in Prato. The guided study visit included visiting an extensive exhibition on the history of clothing and fabrics as well as materials. The exhibition was very interesting. Upstairs, there was another exhibition area where both the history and the present day textile industry of Prato area was on display. There was also a separate area where groups of children were able to try out weaving using small weaving looms. We also got to test the teaching method and made small wristbands.
