Very beautiful exhibit and silk fashions - The museum is tucked away in a narrow alleyway and could be easily missed. I took a taxi here on a 40c day in august. It was cool and the exhibit was interesting to explore the history of the Silk Road. The fashions on display throughout the centuries were very beautifully crafted.

Beautiful, impressive chapel! - Beautiful chapel with impressive wall and ceiling paintings. We were amazed! The (free) audio tour is great, everything is told and explained clearly and with an occasional touch of humor. For us, the visit to this chapel was definitely a highlight during our stay in Valencia.

Beautiful costumes and information on Valencia’s Silk Road history - Visited Valencia’s silk museum in August 2023. The museum displayed beautiful silk clothing. It also featured information in printed form and via audio guide on Valencia’s Silk Road history.

Doesn't take long, isn't expensive and well worth a look. - There is a minimal admission fee as it is basically a courtyard and 3 rooms. The rooms are architecturally impressive and the history is interesting. In two of the rooms there was a video playing, with English subtitles, that explained the history, purpose and architecture. It doesn't take long to visit and it is close to the Central Market.

Lovely experience - Lovely experience and very informative. However, my tip would be to take ear phones as you are able to scan a QR code to be able to download a audio guide for the museum which would be a lot easier than having to read everything.

Very interesting museum - Museum very nice and beautiful both inside and outside... It is a shame that there were no demonstrations as sometimes but we could see the spinning machines dating from the 13 th century.

Sadly not worth the time - Didn't use the skip the line ticket as we went on Sunday and it was free. Sadly, we were so disappointed and glad we hadn't paid! There are some very large old rooms but that was it. Nothing in them so our visit took about ten minutes. Suggest you give it a miss.

Could have been better - Disappointing, we paid for a tour with audio guide, which was using a QR code on the phone. However the wifi doesn't work in the basement rooms, so were not able to access the guide for most of the exhibits
