The ethnographic museum-workshop of textile art, desired by Mrs Ester Fornara Borla and realised thanks to the municipal administration, is located in the 17th century former institute of the Immacolatine Sisters and was inaugurated on 20 June 2009.
It aims not only to safeguard the memory but, above all, to encourage the rediscovery and revival of typical manual activities in our area.
The Museum's new layout was inaugurated on 10 July 2021 and is divided into the following sections:

I Section - Tapestries
Exhibition of tapestries and other handicrafts made from 1910 to 1935 by Elena Mars Albert together with some collaborators and subsequently donated to the Museum by the Albert family.

II Section - Working Tools of the "Arte Tessile Lanzese" or "Arte Popolana Lanzese"
The room houses numerous original tools/tools used in Lanzo Torinese and the Lanzo Valleys for the production of embroidered fabrics in the "Lanzo Work" manner. Among the artefacts displayed in the second section, the most valuable is the loom dating back to the end of the 19th century and still in working order.

Section III - clothing and accessories, the fashion of yesteryear
Collection of personal linen, clothing and accessories, children's layettes and household linen dating from the end of the 19th century to the first half of the 20th century.
