Textile Research Centre, Research institute and textile museum in Leiden, Netherlands
The Textile Research Centre maintains a collection of 14,000 textiles, garments, and accessories from different regions and historical periods for study and exhibition purposes.
Founded in 1991 within the National Museum of Ethnology, the center relocated to its own building at Hogewoerd 164 in Leiden's historical district in 2009.
