Folk/ ethnic costume/textile mesuems or arts/crafts

My art school child and their friend will be spending July in Europe this summer and want to explore local hand-made textiles. Any recommendations for museums, exhibits, festivals, classes, etc for the Czech Republic, Austria, Croatia, and Greece?

They should have some success by Googling ethnographic museum [country or geographical area]. There should be at least one such place in each of the capital cities, I would think. If they're interested in contemporary textiles and fiber work, I'd also Google for fiber exhibition and textile exhibition; I've encountered some very interesting fiber-related special exhibitions in art museums.
