TEXTILE MUSEUM

The museum is housed in a large 19th century house. This weaving workshop was subdivided into six different dwellings where the employees' families were housed. This building is visited to discover the history of the wool industry, a major activity in Newtown in the 19th century. In some rooms, scenes with mannequins in costume and period utensils recompose the domestic interiors of the houses. In other rooms, garment workshops are completely reconstructed, with their large wooden weaving machines
