Turkmen Carpet Museum

The Turkmen Carpet Museum boasts an impressively large collection of Turkmen carpets, including the world record holder for the largest handmade carpet in the world (which covers the entire wall of the two-story building).

Visits to the museum are led by knowledgeable tour guides who will teach you about the art and history of carpet weaving. You'll then be able to explore the products up-close, touching and feeling the rich red and white carpets embroidered with beautiful patterns. There are five different regional carpet patterns, and each pattern has found its way into the country’s flag.

Tour guides can answer any carpet-related questions you may have. With a display of every carpet imaginable, the museum is the perfect research trip for visitors to Turkmenistan who might have the idea of buying one for themselves.
