HBO & WO

The TextielMuseum is a unique place for HBO & WO students to discover and explore. Students find out everything about the history of textile manufacturing processes, which is not only fascinating and enlightening, but also raises awareness. The TextielLab makes the TextielMuseum truly unique. It is a modern workshop used by renowned designers (such as Viktor & Rolf), artists and students.

Programmes specially for academies and universities.

For academies and universities with a specialisation in art, design or textile, programmes lasting one or more days can be arranged on request. These programmes can, for example, include lessons in which students are taught to use a handloom, a flat-knitting machine, or mechanical or manual embroidery techniques. These programmes all focus on learning and mastering various textile production techniques and experimenting with different types of weave, knitting and embroidery stitching with contemporary and special yarns. To discuss the arrangements for these programmes, please contact us by mailing to educatie@textielmuseum.nl

The TextielMuseum offers schools the possibility of creating their own programme. Our workshops and guided tours can easily be combined together.
