Part of the Silk Museum's permanent collection includes live silkworms.[5] Exhibits demonstrate the process of "hatching" the silkworm, leading to the production of silk thread and weaving through all the various stages.[2] Also on display are domestically made finished silk products, such as traditional Lebanese evening dresses and silk trousers that were worn by princesses in the nineteenth century.[3] There is also has a wing dedicated to eastern silk and gold, and a wing holding the treasures of the Bags Antaki family of Aleppo, dated to the nineteenth century and early twentieth century.[3] Visitors on a tour of the museum can also see images of farmers working in the production of silk and silkworm picking and collecting.[6]
