Gent built its fortune on textiles in the medieval ages; t might be the only reason that the city prospered and survivied. In tribute to that legacy, they’ve built this museum on Gent’s primary industry and labour in the remains of an old and abandoned cotton mill. On;y 3% of the museums entire collection is on display. It focuses on both antique and modern gadgets that are in anyway related to the museum. Sure, Gent already has two different museums lent to its history, but this a fresh and unquie perspective on the development of not just the city, but the idea of industry as a whole. Check it out.
