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.
