Textile Museum Wasn’t Kidding (421 7th St NW)

Posted by pqresident

Textile Museum Windows

In the middle of the summer, the Textile Museum announced they would spend $14 million to open a second location in the former HNTB space at 421 7th Street in 2008. As you can see from the photo above, they have now marked their spot and PQ Living looks forward to welcoming this great 23,400 square foot addition to the neighborhood.

The Textile Museum is actually pretty interesting– don’t knock it ’till you’ve seen it!

DCist mentions the Textile opening and bloggers comments from this blog about the lack of a grocery store in the face of the Textile Museum opening. Actually, it’s been said before, but I will say it again: Safeway is opening nearby next year and the grocery problem will be solved for half, if not more, of Penn Quarter’s residents. I say bring on the Textile Museum!

I agree. I thought it sounded boring until I went to their current location in Dupont. It was actually really nice, and very interesting. They have some great art exhibits. I’d take that over a “crime and punishment museum” anyday.

the Textile Museum is a perfectly great use of the space. it’s a grade A museum that will enhance life in the ‘hood IMHO.

look forward to the Safeway also.
