This museum tells the story of Hungary's textile industry and that of the textile factory founded by Jewish entrepreneur Ferenc Goldberger in 1784, which dominated Hungary's clothing industry until the late 20th century and supplied fine fabrics to the Habsburgs in its heyday. Learn about blue-dying and screen-printing through interactive exhibits, check out the revolutionary machinery (for its time) and marvel at the gorgeous fabric samples.
