The TextielMuseum in Tilburg, Netherlands, is a unique combination of a museum and a
working textile factory. Housed in a beautifully restored historic mill, it offers an immersive
experience where art, design, and craftsmanship meet. Visitors can explore textile art
exhibitions, witness live weaving and design processes, and discover how traditional
techniques inspire modern creativity. The museum attracts designers, artists, students,
and travelers interested in innovation and Dutch design heritage. It’s not just a museum —
it’s a living laboratory where fabric and imagination intertwine.
