Museum of Carpet

Kidderminster, Worcestershire

About this business

The Museum of Carpet opened in 2012 and was the only museum in the UK dedicated to celebrating the heritage, art and industry of carpet making, until it closed in late 2025.

Located in Kidderminster town centre, the museum invited visitors to discover the unique story of Kidderminster, once known as the ‘Carpet Capital of the World’, through visuals, photos, films and interactive displays.

The story of Kidderminster’s carpet industry was brought to life by a dedicated and passionate team of volunteers, many of whom lived and worked in Kidderminster during its carpet industry heyday.
