Georgia Silk Museum Silk Road

After textual research,

Georgia

It is one of the 19 countries along the "Great Silk Road".

Silkworms and silk should be the evidence of the Silk Road, but otherwise, Georgia.

Silk Museum

It has nothing to do with the silk road.

To be precise, it is a witness to the development of silk culture in Southeast Europe.

Except for the Silk Museum in all parts of China, the most famous place in the world is the Lyon Silk Museum in France, followed by the Museum of silkworms in Yokohama, Japan.

Although many countries have silk museums, Georgia's Silk Museum has won many families.

With the essence of one man and the marrow of 61 nations, the Silk Museum of Georgia is built in this way.

The Silk Museum of Georgia is directly related to China.

Early silkworm industry

The Silk Road

Georgia's rise in Georgia before, and in the second half of the fifth Century, the history of Georgia, "Saint schwarznik's heroic biography", describes that the sericulture industry in Georgia flourished in fifth Century.

The silkworm industry was almost extinct in Georgia in 1850s.

In order to revive sericulture in the South Caucasus, Russia and Russia sent Nicholas Shafro, a member of the Tbilisi chamber of Commerce, to Western Europe.

During the two-year "study abroad", Shaffer Rolf went to Italy, France, Austria Hungary and Germany to study hatching and feeding techniques of silkworm.

After studying abroad in 1887, Shaffer Rolf was appointed manager of the Caucasus sericulture station in Tbilisi. The sericultural station he developed gradually developed into today's Georgia Silk Museum.

Since nineteenth Century, exhibits from 61 countries have been collected from planting mulberry to mulberry, to silkworm eggs hatching, purifying and rejuvenating, spinning and cocoon making, then to silk weaving, printing and dyeing, and cutting and making use. Every link in the silkworm production chain has been introduced in physical, model and legend. Even the mulberry leaf's natural enemy in Georgia is also introduced.

The exhibits also include mineral and plant dyes used in printing and dyeing in Georgia, perforated Kraft card with similar early computer functions in the textile process of Georgia, and silk products such as scarves, gloves and ornaments in the final form of Georgia.

The sericulture industry has been decadent in Georgia.

Even the Georgia Museum of silk was almost privately bought to open restaurants and cafes.

Fortunately, the government put the Silk Museum under the protection of culture, leaving a few young and old women as museum workers.

Marina Gunashvili, a shy instructors, told visitors that every year people would not forget the history of sericulture in Georgia and come to the "Silk Museum" archaeology.

A two inch message book in the museum has been signed from September to September 2010 after the independence of Georgia in 1991.
