Located in a former XIXth century textile factory, at the heart of the regional Natural reserve of Haut-Languedoc, the departmental Textile Museum testifies of the rich know-how and industrial heritage of Tarn. The collections of the Museum present the techniques of the carded wool, since the transformation of the raw material up to the finished product. The visit is livened up by demonstrations of machines, performed by the team of the museum or by the ancient workers who transmit all their passion of the job. Temporary exhibitions and creative activities complete the museographic route and introduce the visitor to the arts and textile techniques of the whole world.

Walked by on many occasions never thought to stop in,sure glad we did,simply an outstanding and distinctive display of the works of Dom Robert. I recognized the work,from a magazine article or a art book that I saw some years past.Just the amount of time/work that goes into a tapestry is AMAZING. Great visit,the school museum that is in the same building(same entry ticket) is so,so,and a bit of an anticlimax,so I would suggest to see that area first.

Reviewed By Chilternette - Henley-on-Thames, United Kingdom
I was very impressed by this small museum. This year’s theme is embroidery and there are pieces from evening gowns and uniforms to buttons, hats, waistcoats and shoes. The clothes are in superb condition and well displayed and lit. I took two teenagers who go round most museums at a run, but they were captivated and said they’d come away with inspiration for their own projects. The shop next door is a delight and sensibly priced for vintage items. I do hope the museum can expand one day - it’s good, and more would be even better.
9. Musee-Mine Departemental
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 184 reviews
The mine museum of the Tarn. The last testimony on site of the coal mines in the Tarn, the mine museum brings social and technical information on the seven centuries of the coal industry. The head frame and the cage going down make you discover 350 meters of reconstructed galleries where machines and tools are shown in situation to understand better the work of the miner and his living conditions. The permanent exhibition reminds us of the social, economic history which has formed the identity of this area which is deeply impressed by the figure of Jean Jaurès. Temporary exhibitions value the environmental and industrial heritage.
