De Kantfabriek: textiles among machines

Museum De Kantfabriek in Horst covers textile history in a former factory setting. Bobbin-lace machines are an important part, alongside changing exhibitions and local documentation activities.

Plan your visit ↗

A pattern takes shape

See how the explanation shows the link between machine and lace. The many parts become easier to understand when you follow which movement or action contributes to the pattern.

A working collection

Machines are described as working or on display. Ask which ones may be demonstrated during your visit; the museum being open does not guarantee that all the equipment is running continuously.

A different programme

Temporary exhibitions may highlight a textile subject of their own. The Historische Kring also has separate times and conditions, which are not the same as the regular museum schedule.

Before you go

Check the public holiday list for the correct year and ask about the accessible route through the factory building. Arrange any research visit to the Historische Kring separately.
