TEXTURE
The museum course has three 'rooms', one on each level of the building: the Wonder room, the Leie room and the Treasury.
The WONDER ROOM is a type of laboratory, a DIY-place, where you can interactively discover often overlooked applications of flax, its significance in today's world and its potential for the future.
In the LEIE ROOM on the first floor you travel back to the past. Here, the story of the Golden River is told.
With a selection of objects, work tools and machines from the collection, photos, film, animations, testimonials and interactive maps, the economic development of the region of Lys is displayed, with the flax industry as its driving force.
Lace and damask of Courtrai are presented in a contemporary exhibition on the 'Golden rooftop'. In this TREASURY the design focuses on the esthetical experience of selected items from our large collection.
At the moment there is the exhibition "Wit op Wit": Texture's collection project, with support from the Department of Culture, Youth & Media Flanders, with the aim of making the damask collection more accessible. You will discover some exclusive Kortrijk damask. Light artist Alexander Stragier developed a video-mapping installation to bring the motifs on the damask to life.

Discover the heritage depot
|
|
@Erfgoeddepot Trezoor
Curious about where archaeological finds end up after the excavation? Have you always wanted to see what goes on behind the scenes of a heritage depot? The collection manager will guide you in Trezoor and tell you everything about the preservation of archaeological collections.
Guided tours are organized on Saturday 21 May at the following fixed times:
- 9h00-10h30
- 11:00-12:30
- 13h30-15h00
Attention! We can only visit the depots with small groups, so the number of participants per group is limited to about 10 visitors. Registration for this activity is therefore mandatory.
Guided tour is in Dutch.
