Super nice museum - went there for the temporary exhibition of british designer Vivienne Westwood. Incredible exhibition very well made. Absolutely worth a visit!

4 stars

Very unique. The visiting route is a little unclear but they layout isnt too complicated. I wish there are more information in the labels because I don't know much about the history of European textiles. The artefacts are just beautiful in their own right.
