The restored factory buildings plus the modern entrancebuilding added in 2008, now house the TextielMuseum and TextielLab. The museum has been situated here since 1986. Its characteristic industrial architecture was erected by local textile manufacturer Christiaan Mommers (1836-1900). The site is a listed national monument.
A glass corridor between the modern entrance and the old factory leads to the museum, comprising a multi-storey building (1885) and lower area with an authentic long shed-like roof (1876-1878). The tall building is narrow, long, has four floors and many windows. It was built in a style common to British spinning halls. This was in its days the highest factory building in Tilburg. From the central machine room, it was possible to easily connect the steam engine with machines on the other floors.
