Textile Museum Of Borås
The Textile Museum of Borås () is a museum of textile history in Borås, Sweden. History Historically a textile and fashion industry was centered at Borås and the area of Sjuhäradsbygden in southern Västergötland of Västra Götaland County. Sweden's textile industry began to build up in the early 19th century. Decline of the Swedish textile industry from the 1950s resulted in reduced employment leading into the mid-1970s. The Textile Museum in Borås started in 1972 in the premises of a former textile factory, Åkerlunds Bomullsspinneri AB. That plant had dated to 1898 and was designed by English architect Philip Sidney Stott (1858–1937). In 2012, the museum was closed after it was decided to gather Borås' textile operations in the same building. In May 2014, the museum was reopened in new premises in the Simonsland neighborhood in the former premises of Svenskt Konstsilke AB. The Textile Museum is a city-owned museum with two missions.
