The Museum is a centre of heritage, art and industry inspired by Kidderminster’s carpet industry. We use our collection and facilities to enrich people’s lives.
We are an independent museum, with no regular local or central government funding.
We are the only museum in the UK dedicated to carpets and carpet manufacture, and the only museum and gallery space in Kidderminster, providing yearly art exhibitions, regular collection displays and mini-exhibitions. Through a series of displays, interactives and working demonstrations, the Museum keeps alive the heritage of carpet making. We keep safe a stunning collection of carpet designs and working machinery. We deliver a vibrant programme of exhibitions, educational visits and workshops. We also provide a modern, welcoming meeting space for the community.
Your support is greatly appreciated.

Legacies
Leave the Museum of Carpet a gift in your will and help us to continue the work of the volunteers who originally built the collection and founded the Museum.
The carpet industry was a major part of local peoples’ lives, providing good jobs and creating a strong community. Friendships were built, romances blossomed, careers flourished and the town prospered. If you benefited from the carpet industry in Kidderminster and the surrounding area, please consider investing in the future of the Museum of Carpet to help us preserve that heritage.
Your gift will help us to enrich people’s lives by remembering your history. With your support we can make Kidderminster a more inspiring place to live. We are committed to providing exciting opportunities for local people, just like in the hey-day of the carpet industry.
