The Silk Museum, located in the village of Alebsus, Lebanon, is the only silk museum in Lebanon. Perched on a scenic hillside, the museum was renovated from an abandoned silk reeling factory. The museum displays historical pictures of silk production, reeling machines from different eras, spinning wheels, looms and silk products.
