21-10-2009 tm 31-12-2020 In 2004 the large former factory building of the Textile Museum, with working machines, was metamorphosed into a modern, contemporary workplace. The location was given the name Textile Lab. Since then, the use of the Textile Lab by students, designers and artists has increased enormously, and over the years new, contemporary machines have been added.
19-11-2011 tm 04-11-2012 A splendid exhibition will be on display in the DamastWeverij commencing 19 November. The theme this time is on the combination of table linen and services from approximately 1900 to the present day.
