K. A. Almgren Silk Weaving Mill & Museum
What's on
31/8 - 3/9
The weaving hall
closed for conservation cleaning
From August 31st to September 4th, our historic weaving room will undergo a much-needed conservation cleaning. It will therefore be closed to visitors during that time. However, the museum will remain open, so you are welcome to visit our permanent exhibition on floor 3.
These days, we're charging half the regular admission fee, and we thank you for your understanding. The weaving room will reopen to visitors Friday September 4th.

We're weaving again at
K. A. Almgren
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!
Exhibitions
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.
