The Museum of the American Quilter's Society (also known as the National Quilt Museum) is located in Paducah, Kentucky. The museum houses a large collection of quilts, most of which are winning entries from the American Quilter's Society festival and quilt competition held yearly in April. The Museum also houses other exhibits of quilt collections, both historic and modern.

The Museum of the American Quilter's Society (MAQS) was established by American Quilter's Society co-founders Bill and Meredith Schroeder of Paducah and opened to the public on April 25, 1991. It is the world's foremost museum devoted to quilts and the only museum dedicated to today's quilts and quiltmakers. The main gallery is devoted to a rotating selection of the Museum's permanent collection of over 200 quilts. MAQS also develops temporary exhibitions and exhibitions that travel to other galleries and museums, helping educate and inspire a wider spectrum of viewers.
