The Factory
Our main exhibition about silk shawls, jacquard looms and female workers in the textile and clothing industry
In our permanent exhibition, you'll meet some of the women who worked here. You'll also learn more about the silk shawls, 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.
It is a fascinating story that both reflects the development of industrialization in Sweden and offers perspective on today's unsustainable fashion industry.
