Library
The nineteenth century was an era of looking back to the past, the neo-styles in the decorative arts. The library of the Textilemuseum has countless books on this century in the field of interior design, fashion, handicrafts and textiles. Especially for visitors of Open Monument Day the library will be open that Sunday and the books about this century will be presented. Of course, everyone can come and have a look at the wonderful new location of the library and get acquainted with the entire collection of books and documentation.

Guided tour
At 15:00 visitors can participate in a tour of the entire museum complex. All historical parts of the museum will be visited. The wool factory of Chris Mommers was housed here for nearly half a century.
In 1986, the Textile Museum moved to this extraordinary location. The museum has recently been expanded with a modern glass EntranceBuilding, designed by architects Cepezed from Delft. Signing up for the tour can be done by telephone: 013 5494564 or e-mail: boekingen@textielmuseum.nl
