This morning we visited the National Institute for Zorig Chusum (Thirteen Traditional Arts). We got an opportunity to see the young-adult apprentices learning and practicing their craft. (And, of course, the opportunity to purchase items.)
Later on, we visited the National Textile Museum (no photos allowed), which has a weaving showroom where photos are allowed.
