The Textilforum is housed in Herning Klædefabrik's former buildings, established as a wool mill in 1876. The charming old buildings illustrate how an industrial installation can be restored and used attractively and with great ingenuity for a presentation of mid-Jutland's old main industry. The various aspects of textile production, past and present, locally and globally, come to live through exhibitions and workshops.  

The Textilforum is easy to find situated in Herning's main street, close to railway, parking and pedestrian areas. The main entrance in delightful old adminstration buildings is in level with Vestergade. There is access to the museum shop, café and exhibitions from the entrance hall.  

Museum shop with books, postcards, paper dolls, woolen rugs and ponchos, textile tools, knitting wool and patterns for old-fashioned needle work.  

Café with a lively view to the street life and the exhibitions in the old factory halls. The café offers refreshments, coffee, tea and muffins.  

The Boiler House with the factory's big chimney is a room with a distinct environment, suitable for temporary exhibitions, lectures, music and theatre. It can be hired together with the café for special events.  

The factory halls have preserved their original industrial appearance with dog tooth roofs and windows facing north, old factory floors and some of the large machines from the time of the mill. The exhibition "The many ways of textiles" comprises among others a costume gallery and workshops.  

The costume gallery has regularly changing displays of clothes in order to inform and inspire visitors and designers. The traditional Beiderwand wall hangings are woven to order on the old jacquardloom.  

Furniture coverings are made on one of the factory's old mechanical looms, as in the days when the factory was still working.
