Great museum displaying a rotating collection of gorgeous quilts. There's a little bit of everything here and I really enjoyed that they included galleries of professional quilting artists alongside galleries displaying quilts from amazing amateurs from around the world as well. The special exhibit with works by Paula Kovarik was my favorite - her textured, line-doodle style really drew me in for a closer look.

What a great experience. A small and quaint museum full and beautiful quilts. I thought I might be bored as I don't have a lot of interest in quilting, but was pleasantly surprised on how engaged I was. A great stop while in paducah!

Wonderful museum. Admission price is reasonable and there are some stunning works of quilted art to be seen. The studio space is well organized and thoughtfully filled. Gift shop has a few great finds.

This museum showcases modern interpretation of the fine art of quilting. The exhibits are exceptional, and some change regularly. Even if your only interest in quilts is that you once slept under one, this museum should not be missed!!
