Relive the golden years of the Lys region

The rich history of the linen and flax industry in the Lys region is brought to life at Texture. The museum is housed in a former flax warehouse from 1912, a historic building beautifully transformed by architects. The building is "crowned" with a golden roof, a nod to the "Golden River," the Lys. During the linen production process, flax stems were soaked in the river, releasing natural substances that gave the water a yellow-golden hue. The term also refers to the region’s golden years, as the flax industry brought wealth and prosperity to the Lys area.
