At Tekstilmuseet you will get close to history of the textile industry in Central Jutland and experience how the boom of the 1950s really set off the area and made Central Jutland go worldwide. In the authentic factory halls of the old Herning Cloth Factory you can experience the exhibition Made in Midtjylland, where we tell the story of how the textile industry changed Central Jutland from the 1950s and onwards. Children can get to work at the Children’s factory, you can study the Hammerum Girl’s almost 2000 years old dress or immerse yourself in the large machines in the spinning mill, which produce textile products for the museum’s shop.

Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 2 reviews
Herningsholm Museum is located in Herning’s oldest building from 1579. At the old manor you can explore life on the heath and the role it played in the textile industry, which later came to characterise the area. At Herningsholm Museum you can get close to the author Steen Steensen Blicher, experience the evocative paintings of the heath painters or study the manor’s beautiful rooms and old murals up close. But you can also experience the story of a manor, that went from housing a small army and guns to creating a large business based on sheep and woolen socks – and which became the start of the textile industry in Central Jutland.
