What's on
Stretches
with Ellen Dynebrink
October 1st - 30th 2026
Ellen Dynebrink is a textile artist who, through the patchwork technique, explores textiles as historical and aesthetic objects, as well as the relationship between the gaze and the image. Her work is based on a long-standing collection of her own and found images of textiles. Through image manipulation, choice of materials and technique, a tension arises between the materials of the works and their textile originals.
Opening event, thursday 1st october, 16-18 PM. Free entrence. Welcome!

Silk Weaving Mill
After a few years with a generational gap in the knowledge of weaving with jacquard mechanics, we are now weaving again at K. A. Almgren Silk Weaving Mill in Stockholm. Karin Kauppi is our new weaver!
In the fall of 2025, she wove shawls inspired by a pattern in the museum's collections. She is currently preparing a new jacquard loom and will weave again later this spring. Keep an eye on our website and social media for more information about upcoming weaving!

The Factory
In our permanent exhibition you'll meet some of the women who worked here. You'll also learn more about the silk scarves, sashes, and dresses they wove and sewed. "The Factory" explores the silk weaving mill's nearly 200-year history, with a global outlook. From its founding in 1833, before the dawn of industrialization in Sweden, through its heyday, decline, expansion, the TEKO crisis, and its revival.
