Lonely Planet review for Sūzhōu Silk Museum

Sūzhōu was the place for silk production and weaving, and the Sūzhōu Silk Museum houses a number of fascinating exhibitions that detail the history of Sūzhōu's 4000-year-old silk industry. Exhibits include a section on silk-weaving techniques and a room with live silk worms munching away on mulberry leaves and spinning cocoons. There are many functioning looms and its not uncommon to see staff at work on, say, a large brocade. Magnificent. Many of the captions are in English.
