Partners in Sweden
Textile Museum of Sweden
Nordic Textile Art has a strong partner in Textilmuseet i Borås (the Textile Museum in Borås, Sweden) who with its new art lounge is building an international arena for textile art.
Nordic Textile Art is part of the reference group for Nordic contemporary textile art. The 2012 Nordic Textile meeting in the city of Borås was accomplished in cooperation with the Textile Museum.
The Textile Museum is Sweden’s leading museum devoted to textiles, housed in a nineteenth century cotton mill in Borås. In this genuine and industrial environment the museum exhibits textiles in every form. The machine hall displays one of Europe’s largest collections of textile machinery still in operation.
In addition to the permanent exhibition "Wardrobe 1900" the Textile Museum produces changing exhibitions which include our textile heritage, textile art, fashion and design.
