The textile museum will open its new building in the city centre of Neumünster with the heading ‘cloth and technology’ in summer 2007. On about 2000 square metres the visitors can explore almost 4000 years of history, discover exciting exhibits and try out some of them.

Cloth, technology and Neumünster are the topics of the museum. It tells stories of people who lived and worked in Neumünster. A hand-weaver establishes his workshop in the museum. He shows how a loom is operated and produces cloth for the museum shop. Machine minders demonstrate industrial textile machines. Media stations give the possibility to: watch historical educational films, listen to interviews with textile workers and manufacturers of Neumünster and read background information. Visitors can try out spinning-wheels and looms themselves. They can also make laboratory experiments.

In addition to the permanent exhibition there will be smaller changing exhibitions on different aspects of textile production in Neumünster. Some will be prepared in co-operation with schools and adult education centres. Together with the educational institutions of the city, seminars and series of lessons on history and present time of cloth and technology in Neumünster are offered.
