Presentation
The Association des Amis du Musée du Textile et de la Mode was created in 1982 to save Cholet's former Rivière Sauvageau laundry from destruction, and to safeguard the town's textile heritage. From 1991 to 2003, volunteers worked in partnership with the town of Cholet to transform the laundry into a textile museum, part of which was inaugurated in 1995. Committed to protecting Cholet's industrial heritage and memory, the association also collects oral and material evidence of the region's industrial past.
Thematic tours and workshops are organized for schoolchildren: for further information:www.museedutextile.com
