La Manufacture is a museum dedicated to memory and textile design. In a typical industrial setting, the sound of machines immerses the visitor in the world of textile factories. La Manufacture features a collection of still operating looms, from the handlooms of the Middle Ages to present-day computerized machines. La Manufacture is also a place dedicated to creation: a program of temporary exhibitions offers an artistic look at contemporary textile design, and textile workshops are set up throughout the year to promote the transmission of know-how.
