The Silk Museum walks through the machinery and process behind Como's centuries-old textile trade, from raw thread to finished fabric, using original looms and dyeing equipment rather than just photographs. It's the single best way to understand why silk still matters to this city's identity.
Local tip: The museum shop sells genuine Como-made silk pieces, a more reliable source than some shops in the centre if you want the real thing.
