Textile Museum

So nice this museum. I like it

This is the place in the Netherlands that I encourage anyone who is interested in textiles, textile design and textile development to visit. If you ever visit anywhere in Europe, take a flight, train or a bus to Tilburg and visit for the day. I have never seen anything like it. If you are a potential designer, the best place to start here is the library. The whole library is dedicated to patterns and designs not just European as the collection encompasses the world. It is a real treasure trove of ancient and modern patterns and designs. There are thought provoking and awe inspiring pieces of 'art' work to see. There are so many samples of the design pieces in the different materials such as man-made materials converted to fabrics and lots of examples in natural materials too. If you are lucky, you will see students and support staff working on student designs and you will see the machines weaving the designs. It must be a real thrill to study there and see your designs made into fabric or carpet. There was a dress display regarding 'lace' elements in dresses. A café and a gift shop for souvenirs is available too. Lots to see. Inspirational visit

Really a good museum if you are interested in repurposing fabric or vintage clothing. They also have old weaving looms and a room where they explain how wool is made into fabric.

As tecnologias fascinantes são exibidas, poderiam ter sido um conteúdo muito mais rico. 12,5 € A entrada é muito cara, ainda recomendada.

Lovely museum

really fun museum !

Tillburg is for pussio's

Great and interesting place.

So interesting! I tough it was all about how fabrics used to be done (and it does show that) but is much more than just that. Also very conscious abou fast fashion.

Muito organizado com muitos equipamentos interessantes de fabricação têxtil e informações relacionadas a algodão. Deve fazer a experiência de meditação têxtil !!

Both building and expositions were super interesting. There is something to do for kids and parents.

Well worth a visit. A working museum. Weaving in action. Fascinating.

Especially nice bag of little assignments for kids

I didn’t know much about weaving before visiting. I enjoyed this place and learned a few things. Very interesting.

Beautiful museum, learned a lot about the history of textiles. Great cafe, too!

Very good museum in Tilburg. Very interesting about the history of textile's. Also there is an audio tour. There are a lot of interactive elements. The lunch was also very good!

Good place to visit " not to chill if you have kids

We were caught in a shower, decided to visit and were extremely glad we did ! Something for everyone, lots to see, very interesting. Highly recommended.

Great Museum, especially if you like industrial stuff! We enjoyed the Bauhaus exhibition very much.

Interesting museum, great building and a wonderful steam engine to see.

I was surprised, it's very interesting place.

A must for fiber arts. Worth the detour. We won "spend the most" at the gift shop.

Interessting Show-Factory, They offer the whole process from wool to the final product. I will come back.

Must visit if your are interested in Tilburg as a textile city. Great exhibition. Loved the lab.

This is a really cool museum. I love the way they mix learning about old techniques with modern textile art. You can see artisans working in the lab and be sure to check out the drawers filled with sample fibers in the library. Also has a nice coffee shop and a good view from the top floor.

Superb museum with modern exhibitions and old looms and great for activities

Super place to learn about the past and the future of the textile industry!

Very nice and interesting museum! And the buildings are beautiful too!

One of my favorite museums I got to see. Beautiful and very interesting exhibits.

Nice to see the old fabric weaving machines from 1960 in action

incredible! this is what a modern museum, doing applied art, should look like. the collection is great and the lab is, where you can watch artists and technicians work together, is fabulous.

A very beautiful and interesting museum.

Excellent museum, especially the lab section where you can see people practicing their craft. The Cafe is good and reasonably priced to boot. The tours are only offered in Dutch. The library is also good if you're looking for information about an obscure textile production technique, for example.

Very nice and interesting museum

I learned so much! From historical textile fabrication, to modern techniques and machines, to their amazing 1920s fashion exhibit, there was something for everyone. They even had textile samples to touch.

Interesting building. Without a guided, I may have missed a lot. However, modern, up to our time exhibition.

Loved it. Interesting exhibit and friendly personnel. They showed us how the old and the new machines worked. It was lovely

Made 3 hour trip to visit, well worth the effort in all respects. If ypubare interested in textiles old and new, go and visit.

It's a fantastic place. I like it very much. I recommend for you.

Unexpected gem. Very nice museum of textile industry, very informative, with large interactive expositions. Highly recommended

Wonderful experience, both the functional industrial machinery and the museum exhibits.

Past and future of textile, We also enjoyed a guided tour. Great experience! Enjoy lunch there as wel, dutch kroketten from this region are the best!

Amazing place. Liked both the old and the new architecture, the coffee shop was very nice. The staff was very nice too, very helpful and friendly. I visited for hours, so much to see, especially the Earth Matter exhibition, but the permanent ones were very interesting too. As was the Textiel Lab. Hope to come back again.

Great building. Industrial heritage with a very modern addition.

Very interesting way of curating textile related items from equipments to textile itself.

I love it. Really good exibitions. Nice people. Grest food at the cacs and cheat. Definitly come back again.
