The TextielMuseum manages a large collection of objects related to textile design, fashion, visual arts, and industrial heritage. Unfortunately, we cannot display all these objects in our museum. Therefore, we like to lend objects to other museums and cultural institutions at home and abroad. In doing so, the museum subscribes to the basic principles formulated in the Museum Association's ‘Slimmer lenen’.
