The Musée du Textile des Vosges is housed in a former weaving mill in Ventron, in the heart of the Vosges mountains. It invites you to discover the fascinating history of the Vosges textile industry. Here, you'll see a magnificent 30 HP steam engine and the boiler room that powered it. A visit here will also help you understand how cotton is transformed into yarn. You'll marvel at the spinning and weaving demonstrations. The museum also features temporary art and theme exhibitions. Interactive workshops offer an immersive and enriching experience, where you can learn different weaving techniques and become a real weaver. In the museum store, you'll find a fine selection of handicrafts and textiles such as tea towels, napkins, tablecloths, handkerchiefs and aprons. DVDs, books and shuttles, which take you even deeper into the world of textiles, are also available. A place to visit to help preserve traditional know-how!
