Traveler reviews
Chris Hubbard
★★★★★4 months agoVery interesting and interactive museum. Great for families on a rainy day. It’s located a few minutes from the historical centre and makes a nice change of pace due to the lack of crowds. The museum had some workshops on at the time we visited and this made it really informative. We had a Citypass and this museum is included. Highly recommend a couple of hours here.
Janice Ng
★★★★★11 months agoVery well designed and informative museum which take you through the history and evolution of textiles and printing industries in Ghent. I could easily spend 3 hours there looking through all that. Highly recommend if you also love old industrial stuff.
