Industriemuseum

About

Get to know the industrial past in this former cotton factory with a beautiful panorama. In 'About people and machinery' you take a dive into the industrial past through 5 chronological discovery stations. Listen to personal stories, walk around the self-actor, discover steam and power and stop at the listening poles. In the Tinker Studio you experiment with materials and techniques. 'Three centuries of graphic industry' tells the history of printing. Walk across the catwalk past the print shop and the type cases. Sometimes printers are at work. You will make your own minizine throughout the exhibition. In '100% Textiles' you follow the process from cotton to finished product. Admire the (roaring!) machines, touch textile samples, listen to stories and try out carding, spinning or weaving. In and around the workshop you see people spinning, weaving, natural dyeing and stitching. There are also temporary exhibitions.
