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.
The exhibition Stretches presents works situated in the gap between the recognisable and the abstract, and bears witness to an artistic practice whose primary aim is to maintain a dialogue with the textile as an object in its own right.
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.
