The TextielLab in Tilburg is a world-class textile innovation center located within the
TextielMuseum complex. It’s not a typical museum space — it’s an active laboratory where
designers, artists, and technicians collaborate to bring textile ideas to life. Here, you can
witness modern weaving, knitting, embroidery, and laser-cutting technologies in action.
The TextielLab bridges the gap between traditional craftsmanship and high-tech creativity,
offering visitors a behind-the-scenes look at the future of fabric design.
