Since the most old(former) civilisations, the use(custom) of textiles(textile industries) accompanies the man in its everyday life. Installed(Settled) in an old(former) weaving built in 1850 in the side of the vosgienne mountain, the museum redraws the history(story) of the manufacturing of the thread(wire) and of the fabric(tissue) with the aid of many led machines. A succession of machines allows to include the transformation(processing) of the cotton, of the ball(bullet) in the thread(wire) and of the thread(wire) in any kind of fabrics(tissues).
