Musée du textile des Vosges

The museum occupies a former weaving factory building from 1855, featuring numerous mechanical looms and cotton processing machinery throughout its exhibition spaces.

The facility began operations in 1855 with 50 mechanical looms operated by 32 workers, using water power from a nearby stream until 1861.

The museum displays the transformation process of cotton materials, from raw bales to finished fabric, through demonstrations of spinning and weaving techniques.

Visitors can access the museum daily from 10 AM to 12 PM and 2 PM to 6 PM, except Mondays, with adult tickets priced at 6 euros.

Children can participate in special Thursday afternoon weaving workshops where they learn traditional textile manufacturing methods through hands-on activities.
