The West-Saxon Textile Museum Crimmitschau is situated within an original historic cloth factory. It is a heritage site of European
importance, which is being turned into a industrial museum. Right now, you can follow the production of woollen cloth step by step on
historic textile machinery . You will feel the atmosphere of a textile mill and learn about the working and living conditions of the former
employees here. Special exhibitions tell the tale of the regional textile industry, show historic and contemporary fashion and works of
interesting textile artists. Our visitors can try out ancient textile techniques within museum-educational programmes. Our program for older
and younger visitors features 'working museum'-days, markets, readings and concerts. In the foreseeable future, our museum will include a
permanent exhibition on the history of the West Saxon textile industry, one of the most important German textile regions.
