La Manufacture

Established on the site of the former Craye textile factory, La Manufacture is a museum dedicated to the living memory and creation of textiles.
Discover the story of textiles in Roubaix and the region through an engaging sensory experience. Over the course of an hour, exhibitions will show how wool is first spun into thread and then woven into fabric. Surrounded by historical and contemporary textile machines, trace the evolution of fabric production from the Middle Ages through present day, and hear the stories of the individuals whose lives and work become a part of textile history.
