The Wool and Fashion Tourist Centre
The Wool and Fashion Tourist Centre is developing its activities in a building that was once the factory and home of the great families of the Verviers wool industry: the de Thier, Grand'Ry, Poswick and Bettonville.The last company, the Bettonville company, closed its doors in 1970. The building was bought by the town to create the Wool and Fashion Tourist Centre. But it was not until 1993 that work began on the building and in 1999 that the Museum opened its doors to the public!The machines and objects (from the collections of the Museums of Verviers), represented in the first part of the show "From Yarn to Fashion", allow visitors to discover the various stages in the process of making woollen cloth.Halfway through the tour, "Fil de Laine" gives way to its cousin "Fil du Temps", which presents a series of images: vignettes from comic strips, published by Glénat, majestically enlarged and printed on fabric. They punctuate the history of man's clothes. "Fil du Temps" also comments on costumes from the great eras that have marked the history of the Western world.
