Textile Museum (Tilburg)

The Textile Museum is a museum dedicated to the art of textiles in the city of Tilburg in the Dutch province, North Brabant.

The museum was opened in 1958 in a former villa related to the factory, and since 1985 has been based in the former factory of the firm C. Mommers & Co., once one of the largest employers in Tilburg.

The Textile Lab is a workshop that allows artists, designers and visitors to engage with the current practices in textile creation (for example, weaving, knitting, or embroidery)[2] In 2017, the Textile Museum won the annual Museumprijs for Museum of the year in the category of Design and Fashion.
