The Goldberger

Budapest (H) > Dauerausstellung (ab Mai 2025)

The new permanent exhibition "Goldberger ..." demonstrates the plant that once began as manufactory with only a few people working there, which successive generations of the family constantly modernized and developed unti l products from the factory were world-renowned. Only the name was preserved the same after decades of nationalization and not the factory's former splendour. The exhibit offers numerous interactive elements for the visitors while visiting the factory. We hope to make textile printing technology and the development of the textile industry more understandable to them. The selection commemorates the Goldberger Company via documents, sample books, photos and paintings. The choice of topic was given: the first workshop owned by the family opened in the present museum building at the end of the 18th century.  The exhibition presents the technical development of textile press from the guilds to nowadays. Textile pressing means the coloring and patterning of textile with tools. It all goes back to primitive traditions: primitives colored and ornamented their own bodies with tools made of pumpkins, wood etc.Pressed textile was already made in the antiquity in the East. They applied pigment grains mixed with glue on the textile. Nevertheless, textile pressing first appeared in 1702 in Europe.The first blue dyer workshop opened at the end of the 17th century in Hungary. By the 18-19th century, blue dyers were present in many towns of the country. They used press stilts: They put a kind of mash on the textile which was removed after the coloring dried. Thus, the pattern remained on the textile. The products of blue dyer workshops are still very popular nowadays. Howe, handiwork was taken over by the so-called perr¬otin machine. It moves the textile and the stilt in varied order. This type of machine is still in operation in a few of the workshops. Industrial textile was revolutionized by the invention of Thomas Bell, England, 1783. Textile production became unbroken. The cylinder press machines first came to Hungary in the end of the 19th century and were in operation until 1980's. A new invention concerning textile coloring came in the 20th century. The silk industry in Lyon applied a Japanese technology. It was realized in the 1930-40's. This technology dispersed around the 1960’s in Hungary. The demand, however, required new inventions. The rotation film press was invented around the 1950's. The technique that is applied nowadays dispersed in the 1960's in Hungary. The store of the Fibre Museum holds several large machines used in textile production. They will be shown in the exhibition ward to be reconstructed. In the meantime, scale models, original sewing machines and authentic copies will present techniques used in textile production continue

Our Colonial Inheritance

Amsterdam (NL) > Dauerausstellung

Colonialism is not a thing of the past. It has shaped the world: our physical, mental and personal world. Colonialism lives on to this day. In the exhibition 'Our Colonial Inheritance', we look at the Dutch colonial history and presence, in Indonesia, Suriname, Curaçao, Sint Maarten and many other countries. You will not get to see and hear the 'known' history, there is more to see and learn. The exhibition shows how colonialism shaped the world of today, and how people endured colonialism. Learn how people tried to create their own lives, rebelled and remained in charge. Are you open to a multivoiced perspective?

Clothes & Couture

Borås (S) > Dauerausstellung

Clothes & Couture tells the story of the creation of Swedish everyday fashion, which was inspired by the couture exhibitions held in Paris between the 1930s and 1970s. We welcome you to a retrospective exhibition about the Borås company Bröderna Magnusson (‘the Magnusson Brothers’), and its journey through fashion history. In the ‘Clothes & Couture’ exhibition, the Textile Museum of Sweden shows how twentieth-century Paris fashion was reinterpreted to create practical clothes for women in Sweden. The exhibition how the Borås company Bröderna Magnusson Damkonfektionsfabrik AB, like many others in the business, took their inspiration from the undisputed capital of fashion: Paris. The manufacture of and trade in ready-made clothes developed during the twentieth century to become one of Sweden’s staple industries. The town of Borås and the surrounding area became a centre for the ready-made clothing industry, and the garments produced here were sold all over the country. One of the companies was Bröderna Magnusson’s, which manufactured womenswear at a somewhat higher price point, featuring advanced cuts and hand-sewn details. All clothes were designed by the company’s head of design, Ylva Segh, who regularly visited the couture shows in Paris. Bröderna Magnusson’s paid great attention to detail, and the garments were produced using a high level of craftsmanship despite being made in a factory. The Textile Museum of Sweden has created slideshows showing the details of the clothing, and developed patterns based on selected garments that have been transformed into three-dimensional animations so as to show visitors how they were constructed. For those who enjoy sewing themselves, there will be sewing patterns available for purchase. These include the useful ‘Pop-Around’ dress from 1953, which was marketed as an everyday, house and party dress. The exhibition was designed in collaboration with the paper artist Bea Szenfeld and includes both large and small installations by her, inspired by the themes of the exhibition.

Weiße Kleider. Die Ausstellungswerkstatt im Herrenhaus Cromford

Ratingen (D) > ab 25.01.2025

Die Ausstellungswerkstatt „Weiße Kleider“ im neuen Ausstellungsraum des Herrenhauses der Textilfabrik Cromford zeigt Damenmode aus der Zeit zwischen 1770 und den 1850er Jahren. Nach historischen Vorlagen aus dem Rokoko, dem Empire und dem Biedermeier verdeutlichen die sieben nachgeschneiderten Modelle die Zusammenhänge zwischen Mode, Frauenbild und Gesellschaft. Die präsentierten Kleider sind alle weiß und lenken somit den Fokus auf die Linie: die schmale Taille, das tiefe Dekolleté, der ausgestellte Rock. Kein buntes oder extravagantes Muster verstellt den Blick auf die Form. Den schlichten einfarbigen Kleidern sind an der Wand historische Einordnungen und Querverweise gegenübergestellt. Diese informieren über Form, Farbigkeit und Materialität der historischen Kleider und ordnen sie so in einen gesellschaftlichen Kontext ein. Museumspädagogische Elemente laden zudem zur spielerischen Auseinandersetzung mit verschiedenen Körperformen ein.

Behind Beauty. Hinter den Kulissen der Schönheitsindustrie

Bochholt (D) > 23.05.2025 - 01.11.2026

Mode und Accessoires, Kosmetik und Düfte aber auch Chirurgie, Sport und Ernährung – all das und noch viel mehr ist Teil der Schönheitsindustrie, die weltweit für mehr 500 Milliarden US-Dollar Umsatz im Einzelhandel sorgt. Doch wo kommen die Trends her? Wer bestimmt, was „Schönheit“ ist und wie Mann oder Frau sie erreichen können? Mit vielen interaktiven Ausstellungseinheiten präsentiert das LWL-Museum Textilwerk auf über 600 m² auch die Rolle der Werbung und der Medien sowie den Einfluss von Social Media. Das Spektrum der rund 800 Exponate reicht von Kleidern und formender Wäsche über Lockenwickler, Rasierer, Lippenstifte und Utensilien aus dem Fitnessstudio bis hin zu denen der Schönheitschirurgie wie Spritzen und Brustimplantate. Höhepunkte sind unter anderem Kleid und Krone der ersten und einzigen deutschen Miss Universe Marlene Schmidt (1961) sowie ein Yves Saint Laurent-Kostüm von Marlene Dietrich aus den 1970er Jahren. Videointerviews mit Protagonisten und Protagonistinnen der Branche, darunter ein Schönheitschirurg, die Chefin einer Kosmetikfirma, die Betreiberin einer Modelagentur und ein Curve-Model, geben Einblicke in verschiedene Geschäftsfelder. Viele Mitmachstationen, Spiegel, ein Laufsteg und eine Selfie-Station laden dazu ein, sich mit der eigenen Einstellung zum Thema Schönheit zu beschäftigen.

Suit Yourself | 100 years of menswear, 1750-1850

Amsterdam (NL) > 22.03.2025 - 15.03.2026

The intimate spotlight exhibition Suit Yourself presents the exuberant finery worn by flamboyant Dutch men in the 18th and 19th centuries, made with striped velvet, floral embroidery and rich silk fabrics. Men’s fashions in the 18th century were by no means understated, and the influence of the ‘macaroni’ from 1760 to 1780 soon caught on in the Netherlands. Worn mostly by wealthy men, the style was all about vivid colours and contrasting fabrics. Clothing also reflected the beauty ideal of that era: a blue waistcoat decorated with intricate embroidery, for example, incorporates a cardboard band that accentuates the length of the torso. The Dutch creators and wearers of these fashion items drew their influences from near and far. Heavy silk damask fabrics were woven and worn locally, while inspiration also came from Turkish motifs and other international sources. The Dutch East India Company (VOC) imported exclusive fabrics such as silk, cotton and linen to the Netherlands, through a process that often involved violence and oppression. The French Revolution (1789–1799) led to more subdued fashions, as soldiers in uniform became the models of masculinity. Relatively subtle displays of wealth remained visible in the detailing, however, with items such as waistcoats featuring double rows of buttons. In the 19th century, styles were further influenced by industrialisation, which increased the availability of fabrics and ready-to-wear clothing. This period also saw a flourishing market for second-hand fashions. One exceptional example of this recycling phenomenon is a waistcoat made of hand-painted Chinese silk from an 18th-century dress.
