Turkmen Carpet Day is observed in Turkmenistan on the last Sunday of May. Established as a national holiday in 1992, this day celebrates the rich tradition of carpet weaving, which is deeply intertwined with the culture and history of the country. Carpets symbolize the power and wealth of families and are known for their unique techniques and patterns, some of which are depicted on the national flag and emblem. The Turkmen Carpet Museum, founded in 1933 and housing over 2,000 exhibits, serves as the focal point for the celebrations. Activities organized on this day aim to revive, preserve, and develop the creative traditions of Turkmen carpet weaving, promoting this national art form and seeking out talented artisans.
