Housed in a former weaving factory founded in 1913 by Israël Craye, La Manufacture is now a museum dedicated to the textile history of the city. Since 2014, it has been highlighting the technical innovations of weaving, from the Middle Ages to the present day, through an important collection of looms in operation. Open to contemporary creation, it also welcomes artists who reinvent the link between heritage and creation.
For this edition, the Manufacture invites you to an immersive and unique experience, Le chant des machines, with the simultaneous start-up of the machines and the meeting of memory passers.
